Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Ausente by Pastor López from Spanish to English.
Todas las mañanas veo una ancianita
Every morning I see a little old lady
Muy desesperada preguntando por su hijo
Very desperate, asking about her son
Pero ella no sabe que fue reo Ausente
But she doesn't know that he was a defendant in absentia
Se lo capturaron y lo condenaron
They caught him and they sentenced him
Oiga señor juez no pongo disculpas
Listen, Your Honor, I make no excuses
No pido perdón pero le suplico
I don't ask for pardon, but I beg you
Que venga mi Madre yo quiero mirarla
That my mother come, I want to see her
Besar sus ojitos que tanto han llorado
To kiss her little eyes that have cried so much
Guardar en mi mente, su rostro bendito
To keep in my mind her blessed face
Que yo he marchitado y sola he dejado
That I have withered and left alone
Es de noche y en su celda se oye un lamento
It's night and in his cell a lament is heard
Oiga señor juez no pongo disculpas
Listen, Your Honor, I make no excuses
No pido perdón pero le suplico
I don't ask for pardon, but I beg you
Que venga mi Madre yo quiero mirarla
That my mother come, I want to see her
Besar sus ojitos que tanto han llorado
To kiss her little eyes that have cried so much
Guardar en mi mente su rostro bendito
To keep in my mind her blessed face
Que yo he marchitado y sola he dejado
That I have withered and left alone
Nadie está libre todos tropezamos
Nobody is free, we all stumble
Cárcel y hospitales cubren nuestras eras
Prisons and hospitals blanket our times
Pagaré mis culpas y estaré a tu lado
I'll pay for my sins and I'll be by your side
Para así adorarte y nunca dejarte
So I can adore you and never leave you
Es de noche y en su celda se oye un lamento
It's night and in his cell a lament is heard
