La Carcel de Sing Sing

(original)
Ayer yo visité la cárcel de Sing Sing
Y en una de sus celdas solitarias,
Un hombre se encontraba arrodillado al Redentor:
Piedad, piedad de mí, mi Gran Señor.
Mas, cuando me miró, a mí se abalanzó;
Y con voz temblorosa y recortada:
Escucha, triste hermano, esta horrible confesión;
Aquí, yo condenado a muerte estoy...
Yo tuve que matar a un ser que quise amar
Y, aunque aún estando muerta, yo la quiero...
Al verla con su amante, a los dos los maté,
Por culpa de ese infame moriré.
Minutos nada más me quedan ya para expirar,
La silla lista está, la cámara también.
A mi pobre viejita, que desesperada está,
Entréguele este recuerdo de mí.
(translation)
Yesterday I visited the Sing Sing jail
And in one of his solitary cells,
A man was kneeling to the Redeemer:
Mercy, mercy on me, my Great Lord.
But when he looked at me, he pounced on me;
And in a quavering, clipped voice:
Listen, sad brother, to this horrible confession;
Here, I am sentenced to death...
I had to kill a being that I wanted to love
And, even though she's dead, I love her...
Seeing her with her lover, I killed them both,
Because of that infamous I will die.
I only have minutes left to expire,
The chair is ready, the camera too.
To my poor old lady, how desperate she is,
Give him this memory of me.
