Lyrics
Vivo en una prisión triste y negra
Por que ay me tocaba esta suerte
Yo seria más feliz si me dieran
Por castigo la pena de muerte
Esta celda en que me hayo cautivo
Poco a poco me va consumiendo
Si vivieran mis padres queridos
No estaría en esta cárcel sufriendo
El maldito veneno del vino
Y el amor en q quise confiar
Son las cosas que tienen la culpa
Que ahora viva como un criminal
Paso noches enteras llorando
Y en silencio rezándole a l cielo
Soy el preso que ya en mucho s años
Nadie viene a brindarle un consuelo
El maldito veneno del vino
Y el amor en que quise confiar
Son las cosas que tienen la culpa
Que ahora viva como un criminal
Lyrics translation
I live in a sad, black prison
Why did I get so lucky?
I'd be happier if they gave me
Death penalty
This cell where I've been held captive
Little by little it's consuming me
If my dear parents lived
I wouldn't be in this prison suffering.
The fucking poison of wine
And the love I wanted to trust
It's the things that are to blame
Let him now live like a criminal
I spend whole nights crying
And silently praying to heaven
I am the prisoner who already in many s years
No one comes to comfort you
The fucking poison of wine
And the love I wanted to trust
It's the things that are to blame
Let him now live like a criminal
