Lyrics

Español

San Benito de Palermo, por la Virgen y el Señor, pedile a Don Juan Manuel que me salve de este horror. San Benito de Palermo, ayudame por favor, que ya me llevan para el banquillo a los redobles del tambor. ¡Ya están, Señor!, de frente los Mazorqueros que me van a fusilar. ¿Vendrá mi amor, a darme el adiós postrero en mi triste agonizar? San Benito de Palermo ya no tengo salvación, se oye el toque del clarín y está listo el pelotón. San Benito de Palermo muero por la libertad, y ya que nadie escuchó mi ruego, que me fusilen sin piedad.

English · machine translation

St. Benedict of Palermo, by the Virgin and the Lord, ask Don Juan Manuel to save me from this horror. Saint Benedict of Palermo, please help me, they are already taking me to the dock to the beating of the drum. Here they are, Lord! the Mazorqueros are already in front of me who are going to shoot me. Will my love come to give me the last goodbye in my sad agony? Saint Benedict of Palermo I no longer have salvation, the bugle is sounded and the platoon is ready. Saint Benedict of Palermo I die for freedom, and since no one listened to my plea, let them shoot me without mercy.
