El Peso Numero Nueve(original) |
| Al preso numero nueve, ya lo van a confesar |
| Esta rezando en la celda con el cura del penal |
| Porque ante este amanecer, la vida le han de quitar |
| Porque mato a su mujer y un amigo desleal |
| Dice, asi, al confesar «los mate, si senor |
| Y si yo vuelvo a nacer, yo los vuelvo a matar |
| Padre no me arrepiento, ni me da miedo la eternidad |
| Yo se que alla en el cielo el ser supremo nos juzgara |
| Voy a seguir sus pasos, voy a buscarlos al mas alla." |
| Ay. |
| yayayayayyyyy |
| El preso numero nueve era un hombre muy cabal |
| Iba el noche del duelo, muy contento a su jacal |
| Pero al mirar a su amor, en brazos de su rival, |
| Ardio en su pecho el rencor y no se pudo aguantar. |
| Al sonar el clarin, se formo el peloton |
| Y rumbo al paredon, se oye al preso decir: |
| Padre no me arrepiento, ni me da miedo la eternidad |
| Yo se que alla en el cielo el ser supremo nos juzgara |
| Voy a seguir sus pasos, voy a buscarllos al mas alla. |
| Ay. |
| yayayayayyyyy yaay |
| (translation) |
| Prisoner number nine, they are going to confess |
| He is praying in the cell with the prison priest |
| Because before this dawn, life will have to take away |
| Because he killed his wife and a disloyal friend |
| He says, thus, when confessing «I killed them, yes sir |
| And if I am born again, I will kill them again |
| Father, I do not regret it, nor am I afraid of eternity |
| I know that there in heaven the supreme being will judge us |
| I'm going to follow in his footsteps, I'm going to look for them in the afterlife." |
| Oh. |
| yayayayayyyyy |
| Prisoner number nine was a very thorough man |
| He went the night of the duel, very happy to his shack |
| But looking at his love for him, in the arms of his rival for him, |
| Rancor burned in his chest and he couldn't hold back. |
| When the bugle sounded, the platoon was formed |
| And heading for the wall, the prisoner is heard saying: |
| Father, I do not regret it, nor am I afraid of eternity |
| I know that there in heaven the supreme being will judge us |
| I'm going to follow in his footsteps, I'm going to look for them in the afterlife. |
| Oh. |
| yayayayayyyyy yaay |
