El Preso – Fruko y sus Tesos




EL PRESO – FRUKO Y SUS TESOS




1) Oye, te hablo desde la prisión

 

Wilson Manyoma Borgona

 

Y dice

 

En el mundo en que yo vivo
siempre hay cuatro esquinas
Pero entre esquina y esquina
siempre habrá lo mismo
Para mí no existe el cielo
ni Luna ni estrellas
Para mí no alumbra el Sol
pa' mí todo es tinieblas

 

2) Ay ay ay que negro es mi destino
Ay ay ay todos de mí se alejan
Ay ay ay perdí toda esperanza
Ay a Dios sólo llegan mis quejas

 

3) Condenado para siempre
en esta horrible celda
Donde no llega el cariño
ni la voz de nadie
Aquí me paso los días
y la noche entera
Sólo vivo del recuerdo
eterno de mi madre

 

4) Ay ay ay sólo espero que llegue
Ay ay ay el día que la muerte
Ay ay ay me lleve a estar con ella
Ay al fin, ay cambiará mi suerte

 

Fuerte lamento
los de Villanueva

 

Y vuelve otra vez

 

5) Ay que solo estoy
sólo me espera la muerte
Ay que solo estoy
Cuando cambiará mi suerte


 6) Oh, qué triste soledad
Vivir en esta condena
Ya no quiero sufrir más
Te lo digo Magdalena

 

7) Ay que solo estoy
sólo me espera la muerte
Ay que solo estoy
Cuando cambiará mi suerte

 

8) Compañeros de prisión
gente de toda la clase
que no tienen corazón
y no saben lo que hacen

 

9) Solo con mi pena
Solo en mi condena
Solo con mi pena
Solo en mi condena

 

Oye, Fruko, solo voy con mi pena
en esta celda, treinta años de condena, ay

High energy, happy latin & Spanish music with lyrics & English translations.  'The Prisoner' is a Salsa anthem about liberty. The song is a warning about the perils of losing your liberty, while at the same time upbeat and life afirming

 This is a classic Salsa song by Fruko y sus Tesos a Colombian Salsa band.
 
The song is inspired by the true story of a friend sentenced to 30 years in jail. For Colombians the song became a metaphor for the feeling you have when you are not getting anywhere & every road seems closed.


THE PRISONER -

(English translation by Let's Talk Spanish)


1) Listen, I talk to you from prison


Wilson Manyoma Borgona

 

And it says

 

In the world in which I live

there are always four corners

But between these four corners

there will always be the same

For me sky doesn’t exist

neither moon nor stars

For me the sun doesn’t shine

for me everything is darkness

 

2) Ay ay ay how dark is my destiny

Ay ay ay everyone leaves me

Ay ay ay I lost all hope

Ay only God hears my cries


3) Condemned for ever

in this horrible cell

Where love doesn’t arrive

nor anyone’s voice

Here I pass the days

and the entire night

I only live from the memory

eternal of my mother

 

4) Ay ay ay I only hope it arrives

Ay ay ay the day that death

Ay ay ay takes me to be with her

Ay at the end, ay my luck will change

 

Strong lament

those from Villanueva

 

and it returns again

 

5) Ay how lonely I am

only death waits for me

Ay how lonely I am

When will my luck change


6) Oh, how sad lonliness

To live in this sentence

I no longer want to suffer more

I tell you Magdalena

 

7) Ay how lonely I am

only death waits for me

Ay how lonely I am

When will my luck change

 

8) Companions from prison

people from all classes

that are heartless

and don’t know what they do

 

9) Alone with my sorrow

Alone in my sentence

Alone with my sorrow

Alone in my sentence

 

Listen, Fruko, alone I go with my sorrow

in this cell, thirty years sentence, ay
