Lyrics
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
Lyrics translation
Prisoner number nine, they're about to confess.
He's praying in the cell with the prison priest.
Because before this dawn, life must be taken away
Because he killed his wife and a disloyal friend
He says, thus, in confessing " kill them, Yes sir
And if I'm born again, I'll kill them again
Father I do not repent, nor do I fear eternity
I know that there in heaven the Supreme Being will judge us
I'm going to follow in their footsteps, I'm going to look for them over there."
Ay. yayayayayyyyy
Prisoner number nine was a very good man.
He was going on the night of the duel, very happy to his jacal
But as he looked at his love, in the arms of his rival,
He burned a grudge in his chest and could not stand it.
When the clarin sounded, the platoon was formed
And heading for the wall, you hear the prisoner say:
Father I do not repent, nor do I fear eternity
I know that there in heaven the Supreme Being will judge us
I'm going to follow in their footsteps, I'm going to look for them over there.
Ay. yayayayayyyyy yaay
