La Carroza Negra

Va llegando una carroza aununciando muerte viene

Here comes a hearse announcing death is coming

En las puertas de una carcel muy despacio se detiene

At the doors of a prison, it slows down

Mandaron traer un reo pero el no sabe que quieren

They sent for a prisoner, but he doesn't know what they want

El preso llego en silencio al saber se quedo mudo

The prisoner arrived in silence; upon knowing, he became mute

Cuando vio el rostro marchito una lagrima detubo

When he saw the withered face, a tear stopped

Amorcito de mi vida a qui se me acaba el mundo

My love of my life, here my world ends

Era la mujer del preso que murio en el hospital

It was the prisoner's wife who died in the hospital

Ya para morir les dijo como ultima voluntad

Before dying, she told them as her last wish

Quiero antes de que me entierren ir mi esposo a visitar

I want to visit my husband before they bury me

Comemtan los celadores con respecto de la dama

The guards comment regarding the lady

Que siempre fue la primera que ala visita llegaba

She was always the first to arrive at the visit

Queria mucho a su marido madrugar no le importaba

She loved her husband a lot, early mornings didn't bother her

Entregan las pertenencias que su esposa habia dejado

They deliver the belongings that his wife had left

Eran unas cuantas cosas y un retrato maltratado

There were a few things and a battered portrait

En el estaban los dos muy felices abrazados

In it, they were both very happy, embraced

Unas letras mal escritas que apenas se podian ver

Poorly written letters that could barely be seen

Ya me voy esposo mio ya no te volvere a ver

I'm leaving, my husband; I won't see you again

Cuando salgas de la carcel prometeme no volver

When you get out of prison, promise me not to return

Yo no se por que delito estaria el hombre encerrado

I don't know for what crime the man would be imprisoned

Pero pienso que es muy duro para culquiera este trago en una carroza negra fue su esposa a visitarlo

But I think it's very tough for anyone; in a black hearse, his wife came to visit him

La carroza ya se aleja dejo dolor y tristeza

The hearse is already moving away, leaving pain and sadness

Un hombre muy pensativo a la celda se regresa

A thoughtful man returns to the cell

Y agradece a su mujer que le dio la ultima vuelta.

And thanks his wife who gave him the final turn
