Los Pilares De La Carcel
Valentín Elizalde
The Pillars of the Jail
They take me prisoner, my dear, crying they take me
prisoner through the streets of Laredo and
when you saw that they put me in jail, you turned away
to enjoy a new love
After all, I am not the pillars of the jail
After all, I am not the locks on the doors
what I ask of you is to always be alert
because one day they will give me freedom
How much you boast for walking on your lands
how much you boast because you see me defeated
it must be because of how much I ask of you
calm down, Montez, let my fate run
After all, I am not the pillars of the jail
After all, I am not the locks on the doors
what I ask of you is to always be alert because one
day they will give me freedom.
