Translation of the song lyrics Locked Up - Akon, Julio Voltio

Locked Up (original)

Olvidate de eso, me aborrece el proceso
Mejor q me maten, yo no vuelvo a estar preso
Porque no dejan q yo haga un par de pesos?
Dicen q lo mio es ilegal y por eso
Esto va de mal en peor
Y se pasa mejor si el guardia no fuera tan abusador
Te violan tus derechos y abusan del control
Ya no hay privilegios ni bajo parol,
Ni pases extendidos, probatorias ni grilletes
Por culpa de los guardias el motin se fue algarete
Y me pregunta porque nadie me visita,
Solo viene a verme mi vieja solita
I’m steady trying find a motive,
Why do what I do?,
Freedom ain’t gettin no closer,
No matter how far I go,
My car is stolen, no registration,
Cops patrolling, and now they done stop me,
And I get locked up,
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (im locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they wont let me out, (im locked up)
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (im locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they won’t let me out
Ya son las 9 de la noche, callóel telón,
Yo en prisión pero mi mente en el callejón
Pensando en mi corillo y en su eterno vacilón
Me encuentro solo y triste y sufre mi corazón,
Por la condena q lucho día a día
Mi juvendtud se escurre en una celda fría,
Mi alma en penitencia, mi vida en agonia
Y es muy poca la esperanza de salir todavía
Las lágrimas q mojan el papel de mi triste carta,
Comentarle a mi familia lo mucho q hacen falta,
A pesar de todo sigo con mi frente alta,
Soy un simple preso q la sociedad descarta
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (im locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they wont let me out, (im locked up)
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (im locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they won’t let me out
Cuz visitation no longer comes by,
Seems like they forgot about me,
Commissary is getting empty,
My cell mates getting food without me,
Can’t wait to get out and move forward with my life,
Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right
But instead I’m here locked up
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (Im locked up)

Locked Up (translation)

Forget about it, I hate the process
It is better that they kill me, I will not be in prison again
Why don't they let me make a couple of pesos?
They say that mine is illegal and that's why
This is going from bad to worse
And it's better if the guard wasn't so abusive
They violate your rights and abuse control
There are no more privileges or under parol,
No extended passes, probationary or shackles
Because of the guards the riot left algarete
And he asks me why no one visits me,
Only my old lady alone comes to see me
I'm steady trying to find a motive,
Why do what I do?
Freedom ain't gettin no closer,
No matter how far I go,
My car is stolen, no registration,
Cops patrolling, and now they done stop me,
And I get locked up,
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out, (im locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out
It's already 9 at night, the curtain fell,
Me in prison but my mind in the alley
Thinking of my corillo and his eternal vacilón
I find myself alone and sad and my heart suffers,
For the sentence that I fight day by day
My youth slips away in a cold cell,
My soul in penance, my life in agony
And there is very little hope of leaving yet
The tears that wet the paper of my sad letter,
Tell my family how much they are needed,
Despite everything, I continue with my head held high,
I am a simple prisoner that society discards
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out, (im locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out
'Cause visitation no longer comes by,
Seems like they forgot about me,
Commissary is getting empty,
My cell mates getting food without me,
Can't wait to get out and move forward with my life,
Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right
But instead I'm here locked up
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
