Soldadito marinero [English translation]

He walks slowly because the rush isn’t good

In his arm, carefully folded the jacket

Then he passes through the street where kids are playing

He wanted to be young too, but he was caught in the war

Little sailor soldier you met a mermaid

One of those who say I love you if they see the wallet full

You chose the most beautiful and the less good one

Without knowing quite how you got caught in the storm

He wanted to cross the seas and forget his mermaid

Honestly, it wasn’t difficult when he met Mariela

Who had green eyes and a business between the legs

What a shot! You never come closer to a good one

Little sailor soldier you met a mermaid

One of those who say I love you if they see the wallet full

You chose the most beautiful and the less good one

Without knowing quite how you got caught in the storm

After a bad winter, a bad spring

Tell me why you are looking for a tear in the sand
