El Peso Numero Nueve - Joan Baez

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

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
