Las altas puertas del penal
Se acaban de cerrar
Y esta vez pues siento que nunca se abríran
Que no saldré jamás
La vida de mi madre
Despacio se marchó
Pol el río de las lágrimas
Que por mí vertió
Son los hijos de la oscuridad
Olvidados por el sol
Muchos hombres pero nada más
Un mismo perdedor
O madre di a tus hijos
Que no sean como yo
Ah con el tiempo se convertiran
En carne de prisión
Y tu muchacha dulce
Cansada de sufrir
Perdóname una vez más
Y vive para tí
Si las altas puertas del penal
Se acaban de cerrar
Y esta vez pues siento que nunca se abríran
Que no saldré jamás
