Translation of the song lyrics El Reo - Karamelo Santo

El Reo (original)

El reo camino a la tumba
A pagar la muerte de su amada
Fue difícil ya verla con otro
Y que la vida no te pague nada
Por eso maldijo ese amor
Y ante el cadáver cantó esta tonada
Yo de tu alma, seré tu dueño
Aunque no exitan las razones
Dame tu alma, te doy mis sueños
Y Dios rogarle los perdones
Fue siempre un vago egoísta
Mal poeta y pendenciero
Su diablo era el alcohol
Le gustaba beberse el infierno
Por eso maldijo ese amor
Y que la virgen le de su consuelo

El Reo (translation)

The prisoner on his way to the grave
To pay for the death of his beloved
It was difficult to see her with another
And that life does not pay you anything
That's why he cursed that love
And before the corpse he sang this tune
I of your soul, I will be your owner
Although there are no reasons
Give me your soul, I give you my dreams
And God beg your forgiveness
He was always a selfish bum
Bad poet and quarrelsome
His devil of him was alcohol
He liked to drink hell
That's why he cursed that love
And may the Virgin give her consolation
