Mi Sangre Prisionera

I felt like my soul was exploding into a thousand pieces
I opened my arms to be able to hug him
I saw him so cute playing in my lap
I felt like the tears were starting to betray me
Behind bars, he looked at me affectionately
He was no longer a child, he was a full-on criminal

I lost my life tangled up in business
My partners were madness and ambition
I didn't have time to play with him a little
Or to nurture his heart with love
They raised him on the streets little by little
They handed him over with a prison diploma

How I wish I could turn back fifteen years
And that his cell could collapse on him
How it hurts me to see my blood imprisoned
Like a beast, walking through the prison
I feel in my soul the reproaches of his mother
He's not guilty and I'm the criminal

(Where has my child gone?
When he asked me for affection
I didn't open my heart to him
I never took him to school
I rarely rocked him in my arms
I didn't even give him a hug on his graduation day
I made money my god
And the son I love so much, I turned into a prison beast
What good was the money to me?
If I ended up a beggar
Begging for compassion for my son)

How I wish I could turn back fifteen years
And that his cell could collapse on him
How it hurts me to see my blood imprisoned
Like a beast, walking through the prison
I feel in my soul the reproaches of his mother
He's not guilty and I'm the criminal
