Fantasma De Canterville
León Gieco
The Canterville Ghost
I was a good man, if there's anyone good in this place
I paid all my debts, I paid my chance to love
yet I'm lying here and no one remembers me,
I pass through people like the Canterville ghost.
I've been offended a lot and no one gave an explanation
oh, if I could kill them, I would do it without any fear
but I was always a fool who believed in legality
now that I'm out, I know what freedom is,
Now that I can love you, I will love you truly.
as long as I have breath, you will never lack warmth,
and I will never look at other people's faces again,
that stupid mask that keeps pulling back.
I have died many times, shot in the city
but it's better than being dead, just a number that comes and goes
and in my grave I have records and things that don't harm me
after I'm dead, baby, you will come to visit me.
