Clandestino [English translation]

I come only with my punishment

There comes only my conviction

Running is my fate

In order to deceive the law

Lost in the heart

Of the great Babylon

They call me the Clandestine*

'cause I don't carry any identity papers

To a northern city

I went for work

I left my life behind

Between Ceuta and Gibraltar

I'm a just a rake on the sea

A ghost in the city

My life is prohibited

Says the authority

I come only with my punishment

There comes only my conviction

Running is my fate

'cause I don't carry any identity papers

Lost in the heart

Of the great Babylon

They call me the Clandestine*

I'm the sellout of law

I come only with my punishment

There comes only my conviction

Running is my fate

In order to deceive the law

Lost in the heart

Of the great Babylon
