Father, yes I am a prisoner
 Fear not to relay my crime
 The crime is loving the forsaken
 Only silence is shame.
 And now I?ll tell you what?s against us
 An art that?s lived for centuries
 Go through the years and you will find
 What?s blackened all of history
 Against us is the law
 With its immensity of strength and power
 Against us is the law!
 Police know how to make a man
 guilty or an innocent
 Against us is the power of police!
 The shameless lies that men have told
 Will ever more paid in gold
 Against us is the power of the gold!
 Against us is the racial hatred
 And the simple fact that we?re poor.
 My father dear, I am a prisoner
 Don?t be ashamed to tell my crime
 The crime of love and brotherhood
 And only silence is shame.
 With me I have my love, my innocence,
 The workers and the poor
 For all of this I?m safe and strong
 And hope is mine
 Rebellion, revolution, don?t need dollars
 They need this instead
 Imagination, suffering, light and love
 And care for every human being
 You never steal, you never kill
 You are a part of our hope and life
 The revolution goes from man to man
 And heart to heart
 And I sense when I look at the stars
 That we are children of life
 Death is small.
