El Ladrón

I don’t remember anything about the people around,
Just their two eyes and their voice;
I don’t recall how many hours I could hold on,
My memory is in the man I saw die.

Remember me, when your kingdom comes,
Don’t leave me alone.
His voice answered me, and when I looked into his eyes,
They were my hope.

I don’t know if it was night or day in Jerusalem,
That light was so strange;
I don’t know how I ended up there with him,
I know I deserved that cross.

Remember me, when your kingdom comes,
Don’t leave me alone.
Today I’ll see you riding by my side,
In paradise.

I don’t remember anything good I’ve done,
Just that moment I lived;
When I finally saw him, I could see myself,
I recognized my misery and my wickedness.

Remember me, when your kingdom comes,
Don’t leave me alone.
His voice answered me, and when I looked into his eyes,
They were my hope.

I don’t remember anything about the people around,
Just their two eyes and their voice;
I don’t recall how many hours I could hold on,
My memory is in the man I saw die.
