Police, take it

Police, open bars

I'm going to confess if you leave me

I prefer to be a thug that assholes

And for that you have to have value

Police, take me dam

That if it is perpetual, I am not interested

Yes, it is true that I killed that man

But I killed him, I killed him from love

It was not with the gun, either with the dagger

It was that I denied my kisses and he died for that

Because I didn't want to give them

Here is this moral

To be with him prefer to be behind bars

Quiet, police, who will not miss me

Who gives me a visit, a conjugal visit

Here is this moral

To be with him prefer to be behind bars

Police, take her inmate

From the tip of the shoe to the top of the head

I already went out through your door, I do not go back to that

Police, take her inmate

For my noble humanity they call me 'offender'

Police, take her inmate

That's why I don't care that I get the grillete '

They put the bond, I have plenty of tickets'

Police, take her inmate

That man does not breathe

Call the Police

Tell him, tell him!

Cucú, Cucú!

When love does not give you freedom

It is a prison, a disease

When love does not give you freedom

You have to kill him coldly

"LA PRESA" (The Prisoner) is a salsa confession with a wicked sense of humour. Nathy Peluso walks up to the police and admits it: "Sí, es verdad que yo maté a ese hombre" [Yes, it's true I killed that man]. The twist comes right after: "lo maté de amor" [I killed him with love]. No gun, no knife. "Fue que le negué mis besos y él se murió por eso" [I refused him my kisses and he died of it].

She is so unbothered that she would rather go to jail than stay with him: "Pa' estar con él prefiero estar tras las rejas" [Rather than be with him, I'd rather be behind bars]. Pa' is the everyday spoken short form of para. She even jokes she will have plenty of conjugal visits and enough cash for bail. The final moral is blunt and a bit much, in the best way: when love doesn't give you freedom, it's a prison, "Hay que matarlo con frialdad" [You have to kill it in cold blood].
