Goodbye, my mother

Give me your blessing

Sorry for this agony

That I caused to your heart

Kneel down for me

Pray to God for me

May He have mercy

For the life I chose

In the neighborhood where I live

They came to look for me

Mom, talk to the judge

So he can give me freedom

In the prison yard

There's a puddle and it hasn't rained

They are the tears of a prisoner

Who entered and hasn't left (Farru!)

Four in the morning, they enter and break down the door

To the old lady with an arrest warrant

Masked agents with their vests on

"Ma'am, hand over your children, or would you prefer to see him dead?"

My confused mother bursts into tears

Have mercy in the midst of distress

I had never seen mommy cry

But still, she didn't stop praying

Seeing her like that, I raised my hands

I didn't think twice and surrendered right away

I shouted, "Mother, forgive me!

You don't deserve this"

In the neighborhood where I live

They came to look for me

Mom, talk to the judge

So he can give me freedom

In the prison yard

There's a puddle and it hasn't rained

They are the tears of a prisoner

Who entered and hasn't left

I had a bad feeling

That something bad was going to happen

And before leaving home

I asked my little old lady

Kneel down for me

Pray to God for me

May He have mercy

For the life I chose

I go out prepared for the job

If we hit it big, I get 50%

Face covered, I grab my .40

In case something goes wrong, I empty the 30

I see suspicious movements, a strange situation

I already killed the contact because they don't show up

A patrol car is coming behind us, and if it comes and stops us

My freedom is priceless, shoot, piripa-pa-pai

The guns sound, the blue ones arrive

So many bullets, so much blood I hadn't seen

If we make it out alive from here, it's thanks to Christ

Finally, we achieved it through hits

Where we come from, nobody gave us a hand

Face covered, we put on hoods

I trust the one above who has never

In my choir there is no informer'

With the Fede' we do not deal

In the street I have a contract

Always real and never toad, never toad, yeh-yeh

In the choir there is a sneak

That with the Fede' he made a deal

For my head there is a contract

They are not real, they are all toads, they are all toads

In the neighborhood where I live

they came looking for me

Mom, talk to the judge

give me freedom

In the jail yard

There is a puddle and it has not rained

They are the tears of a prisoner

That he has entered and has not left

misericordia — mercy

Misericordia translates to "mercy" or "compassion." It's a profound word that carries significant emotional and spiritual weight, making it stand out from everyday vocabulary.

In the song, the protagonist, facing imprisonment, repeatedly asks for misericordia from God and from his mother. This word encapsulates the desperation and plea for forgiveness and understanding in a dire situation, highlighting the song's themes of regret and the consequences of one's choices.

This song, "Patio De La Cárcel - Tangos" by Omar Montes and Farruko, is a really intense story about a person facing the consequences of their choices and the pain it brings to their family.

The lyrics open with a plea to his mother: "Adiós, madre mía, Échame la bendición, Perdón por esta agonía que causé a tu corazón" [Goodbye, my mother, Give me your blessing, Forgive me for this agony I caused your heart]. He asks her to pray for him, for God to have mercy on "la vida que escogí" [the life I chose]. The song then vividly describes the moment police break into his home in the early morning, confronting his mother. Farruko's verse really brings this to life, describing his mother's tears and his own surrender to spare her. The recurring image of "En el patio de la cárcel, Hay un charco y no ha llovi'o, Son las lágrima' de un preso, Que ha entrado y no ha sali'o" [In the prison yard, there's a puddle and it hasn't rained, They are the tears of a prisoner, Who has entered and hasn't left] is a powerful and sad metaphor for the despair of incarceration. It's a raw look at regret, family love, and the harsh realities of a life of crime.
