Lyrics

Español

Volvió de nuevo a mi barrio tal vez condolido y un poco más viejo. Aquel que entre los muchachos era el más querido, era el más travieso; pero hay congojas en su alma, su acento es sombrío, se ve que sufrió y trae para sus amigos consejos muy sanos que solo aprendió. (Recitado) Recuerdo una noche, mi amigo ultrajado, se jugó la vida con otro varón. Porque provocado e injuriado sin razón lo hirió la vergüenza y a conciencia lo ultimó. (Recitado) La cárcel maldita, lo hundió en sus sombras cuando en su defensa esa noche mató. Hoy se ve en su rostro que la huella del dolor marchitó la vida de aquel hombre en la prisión. Salió... ya está entre nosotros cumplió su condena, está en libertad, y piensa formar un nido de amor y ternura, de gloria y de paz. Y echar un manto de olvido al tiempo pasado, de su perdición. Luchar y reivindicarse con todas las fuerzas de bravo varón.

He came back to my neighborhood perhaps condoled and a little older. He who among the boys was the most beloved, was the most mischievous; but there is sorrow in his soul, his accent is somber, it is seen that he suffered and brings to his friends very healthy advice that he only learned. (Recited) I remember one night, my outraged friend, gambled his life with another man. Because provoked and wronged without reason he was wounded by shame, and he was consciously put to death. (Recited) The accursed prison plunged him into its shadows when in his defense that night he killed. Today you can see on his face that the imprint of the pain withered the life of that man in prison. He got out... he is now among us he has served his sentence, he is free, and plans to form a nest of love and tenderness, of glory and peace. And cast a mantle of oblivion to the past time, of its perdition. To fight and vindicate himself with all the strength of a brave man.
