Literal translation of the original Spanish lyrics to English.
Prisión de Hierro (Prison of Iron)
(Daniel Ferioli)
A prison of iron
Between cotton wool clouds
They meant to execute
The Bird of love
All they obtained was its escape
Between the gunshots it flew
Leaving on the body the smile
Of its martyrdom for God
The body torn to pieces
The soul soaring towards God
Scattered writings
And then the reunion with God
It brought the Glory from Heaven
And then the Báb departed
Leaving on the body the smile
Of His martyrdom for God
A voice in a prison
The silence around
The Bird of writing
Flies and flies towards the heart
It passed through the walls
And then the Báb departed
Leaving on the body the smile
Of His martyrdom for God
For God, for God
For God (repeat ad libitum)
(Go to the original version in Spanish).
