Lyrics

Voy a contar una historia
De un hroe que tengo
Todos vivimos la euforia
Nos queda el recuerdo
Lo conoc por la tele
Muy de madrugada
Y la inocencia de un nio
Que tira trompadas
La gente le llama pambe
Y l era alegra
Y la esperanza de un pueblo
Que nada tena
El tricolor en sus piernas
Bien fortalecido
Y en esos puos de hierro
Hay algo que es mo Ayer calor de la patria
De la gloria al fro
De todo lo que nos diste
yo nunca me olvido
Y aunque a los lejos recuerde
Que grito tu nombre
Cerca de Dios San Basilio
Y tan lejos del hombre
Y l pele
Y se crey
Y l so
Y gan por eso
Y lo compr
Y lo enga
Y era un nio
Y se aprovech
Y el pele
Y el gan
Y se anim
Se meti en eso
Y l perdi
Y lo dej
Ya era grande
Y no le import
Y hoy la vida
Nos pone contra las cuerdas
Si me caigo
Seguro pierdo en la cuenta
Nada pudo vencer a su corazn

Lyrics translation

I'm going to tell a story
From a hroe I have
We all live the euphoria
We still have the memory
I know him on TV.
Very early in the morning
And the innocence of a child
Who pulls deceived
People call him pambe
And I was glad
And the hope of a people
That I have nothing
The tricolor on his legs
Well strengthened
And in those iron pues
There is something that is Mo yesterday heat of the Fatherland
From Glory To fro
Of all you've given us
I never forget
And though the distant remember
That I Shout Your Name
Near god St. Basil
And so far from Man
Y L skin
And believe
Y L so
And they win for it
And buy it
And engulfs it
And he was a boy.
And it takes advantage of
And the skin
And the gan
And it is
I got into it.
And I lost
And I leave it
It was already big
And it does not matter
And today life
It puts us against the ropes
If I fall
I'm sure I lose on the account.
Nothing could beat his heart
