El Preso Numero Nueve (Prisoner Number Nine) - Joan Baez

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

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
