El Fantasma de Canterville [English translation]

I was a good man

if there's someone good in this place.

I paid all my dues,

I paid my love chance.

However I'm stranded

and nobody remembers me,

I pass through people

like the Canterville Ghost.

They offended me a lot

and no one gave an explanation.

Oh, if I could kill them,

I'd doit without any fear,

but I've always been a fool

who believed in legality.

Now that I'm outside,

I know what freedom is like.

Now that I can love you,

I'm gonna love you truly.

As long as I have air,

you'll never lack warmth,

and I'll never pay attention

in the face of the others,

that idiot mask

that pushes back.

I've died many times,

riddled in the city

but is better to be dead,

than to be a number that comes and goes.

And in my grave I have records

and things that don't do me bad.

After you're dead, baby,

you'll come to visit me.
