Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pensando con detalle en mi ejecucion
El tiempo se me acaba why no lo puedo detener
Eh brother, welcome to hell
Atado en una silla me van a electrocutar
He sido condenado a la pena capital
Alego mi inocenciay no lo quieren ver
Ya llego la hora, hermano chicano
Ya llego tu hora afro-americano
Condenan a dementes o a menores de edad
En la silla de la muerte o en la camara de gas
A cuantos inocentes he visto perecer
Eh brother, welcome to hell
Vivo en un pais donde todo puedes comprar
Estar vivo o estar muerto depende del capital
Mi futiro ya esta escrito no me puedo defender
Eh brother, welcome to hell
Ya llego la hora, hermano chicano
Ya llego tu hora afro-americano
VIGENTES CRIMENES DE ESTADO CONTRE LA HUMANIDAD

WELCOME HELL, ESTE CASO ESTA CERRADO
WELCOME HELL, HAY QUE ASESINARLO
WELCOME HELL, ESTE CASO ESTA CERRADO

Cuantos seres humanos tendreis que asesinar
Para daros cuenta que esto es une atrocidad
El ojo por ojo nada puede resolver
Eh brother, welcome to hell
Al cabo de los anos consiguieron demostran
Que yo no era culpable why ya no hay marcha atras
Mi cuerpo esta podrido why ya no puedo renacer
Eh brother, welcome, welcome...
Ya llego la hora, hermano chicano
Ya llego tu hora afro-americano

The lyrics of Ska-P's "Welcome to Hell" are a poignant reflection on the injustice and cruelty of the death penalty, particularly in the United States. The song opens with the singer stuck in a dirty corridor, trapped in his own thoughts as he awaits execution. Through his vivid description, we can feel the tension and fear building up within him.
As the song continues, the singer's fate becomes clearer; he is to be electrocuted as a punishment for a crime he may not have committed. He pleads his innocence, but nobody listens. The injustice of the system is underlined as we hear about cases where minors and the mentally disabled are executed or gassed. The lyrics denounce the disregard for human rights and the dehumanization of the accused.
The final verses paint a grim picture of a society where life or death depends on money and power. However, the lyrics suggest that even if justice were served and the innocent were redeemed, they would still be left with the haunting memories of their traumatic experiences. The singer can never forget the hell he went through, and the song ends with a somber repetition of the "Welcome to Hell" refrain.
Overall, Ska-P's "Welcome to Hell" is a powerful protest against the death penalty and a sobering reminder of the flaws and injustices of the legal system.
