He Was My Brother

Era mi hermano

He Was My Brother

Era mi hermano
He was my brother
Cinco años mayor que yo
Five years older than I
Era mi hermano
He was my brother
Veintitrés años el día en que murió
Twenty-three years old the day he died

Jinete de libertad
Freedom rider
Le maldijeron a mi hermano en la cara
They cursed my brother to his face
Vete a casa forastero
Go home outsider
Este pueblo va a ser tu lugar de enterramiento
This town's gonna be your buryin' place

Cantaba de rodillas
He was singin' on his knees
Una muchedumbre furiosa siguió a lo largo
An angry mob trailed along
Mataron a mi hermano
They shot my brother dead
Porque odiaba lo que estaba mal
Because he hated what was wrong

Era mi hermano
He was my brother
Las lágrimas no pueden traerlo de vuelta a mí
Tears can't bring him back to me
Era mi hermano
He was my brother
Y murió para que sus hermanos pudieran ser libres
And he died so his brothers could be free
Murió para que sus hermanos pudieran ser libres
He died so his brothers could be free
