Va llegando una carroza, anunciando muerte viene
A carriage is arriving, announcing death is coming
En las puertas de una carcel muy despacio se detiene
At the doors of a prison very slowly he stops
Mandaron traer a un reo pero él no sabe qué quieren
They sent for a prisoner but he doesn't know what they want
El preso llegó en silencio al saber se quedó mudo
The prisoner arrived in silence when he found out he was speechless
Cuando vio el rostro marchito, una lagrima detuvo
When he saw the withered face, a tear stopped
Amorcito de mi vida, aquí se me acabó el mundo
Sweetheart of my life, my world has ended here
Era la mujer del preso que murió en el hospital
She was the wife of the prisoner who died in the hospital
Ya para morir les dijo como ultima voluntad
To die he told them as his last will
Pero antes de que me entierren ir mi esposo a visitar
But before they bury me, my husband is going to visit
Comentan los celadores con respecto de la dama
The guards comment regarding the lady
Siempre fue la primera que a la visita llegaba
She was always the first to arrive at the visit
Quería mucho a su marido, madrugar no le importaba
She loved her husband very much, getting up early didn't matter to her
Entregan las pertenencias que su esposa había dejado
They deliver the belongings that his wife had left
Eran unas cuantas cosas y un retrato maltrado
There were a few things and a battered portrait
En el estaban los dos, muy felices abrazados
They were both there, very happy, hugging each other
Unas letras mal escritas, que apenas se podían ver
Some poorly written letters that could barely be seen
Ya me voy esposo mío, ya no te volveré a ver
I'm leaving my husband, I won't see you again
Cuando salgas de la carcel prometeme no volver
When you get out of jail, promise not to come back
Yo no se por qué delito estaría el hombre encerrado
I don't know what crime the man would be locked up for
Pero pienso que es muy duro para cualquiera este estrago
But I think this havoc is very hard for anyone
En una carroza negra fue su esposa a visitarlo
His wife went to visit him in a black carriage
La carroza ya se aleja, dejó dolor y triteza
The float is already moving away, it left pain and sadness
Un hombre muy pensativo a la celda se regresa
A very thoughtful man returns to the cell
Le agradece a su mujer que le dio la última vuelta
He thanks his wife for giving him the last turn
