| El preso numero nueve ya lo van a confesar |
| Esta encerrado en la celda con el cura del penal |
| Y antes del amanecer la vida le han de quitar |
| Porque mató a su mujer y a un amigo desleal |
| Dice así al confesar |
| Los maté si señor |
| Y si vuelvo a nacer |
| Yo los vuelvo a matar |
| Padre no me arrepiento |
| Ni me da miedo la eternidad |
| Yo se que allá en el cielo |
| El que juzga nos juzgará |
| Voy a seguir sus pasos |
| Voy a buscarla hasta el más allá |
| Ay. |
| yayayayayyyyy |
| El preso numero nueve era un hombre muy cabal |
| Iba en la noche del pueble muy contento en su jacal |
| Pero al mirar a su amor en brazos de su rival |
| Ardió en el pecho el rencor y no se pudo aguantar |
| Al sonar el clarín se formo el pelotón |
| Iban al paredón solo alcanzo a decir: |
| Padre no me arrepiento ni me da miedo la eternidad |
| Yo se que allá en el cielo el que juzga nos juzgará |
| Voy a seguir sus pasos voy a buscarla hasta el más alla |
| Ay. |
| yayayayayyyyy yaay |
| (translation) |
| Prisoner number nine is going to confess |
| He is locked in the cell with the prison priest |
| And before dawn, life must be taken away |
| Because he killed his wife and a disloyal friend |
| He says so when confessing |
| I killed them yes sir |
| And if I am born again |
| I kill them again |
| Father I do not regret |
| I am not afraid of eternity |
| I know that there in heaven |
| He who judges will judge us |
| I will follow in your footsteps |
| I'm going to look for her to the afterlife |
| Oh. |
| yayayayayyyyy |
| Prisoner number nine was a very thorough man |
| He went to town at night very happy in his shack |
| But looking at his love of him in the arms of his rival |
| The resentment burned in his chest and he could not stand it |
| When the bugle sounded, the platoon was formed |
| They went to the wall, they only managed to say: |
| Father I do not regret nor am I afraid of eternity |
| I know that there in heaven the one who judges will judge us |
| I'm going to follow in her footsteps I'm going to look for her to the afterlife |
| Oh. |
| yayayayayyyyy yaay |
