Lyrics
Soldadito de plomo
No es el colmo
Que tengas que luchar
Por un general de madera
Formacin de batalla
Y al final de tu guerra
Una medalla, una bandera
Muy abajo la tierra
Cuerpo a tierra brigada
Que al final de la escalada
Te espera tu compaa
Y te desea tu compaera
Soldadito de plomo
No es el colmo
Que tengas que morir
Por lucir tu guerrera
Cruces, condecoraciones
Distintivos, galones
Entorchados espadines
Bandas y fajines
Mosquetones, fusiles
Sables y balines
Cartucheras y granadas
Bayonetas caladas
Soldadito de plomo
Ay! que pena
Que tengas que matar
Por la paz con la guerra
A matar al enemigo
A rematar al herido
Que se abran las fosas
Y que se cierren los sentidos
Firmes, carguen y fuego
Un pelotn est en juego
Y que al entrar en combate
No vuelva quien lo mate
Soldadito de plomo
No hace falta
Que tengas que luchar
Por un general de madera
Lyrics translation
Lead soldier
It's not the last straw.
That you have to fight
By a wooden general
Battle formation
And at the end of your war
A medal, a flag
Far down the Earth
Body to ground brigade
That at the end of the climb
Your friend is waiting for you
And your friend wishes you
Lead soldier
It's not the last straw.
That you have to die
For showing off your warrior
Crosses, decorations
Badges, gallons
Twisted sprats
Bands and fajines
Carabiners, rifles
Sables and balins
Cartridges and grenades
Open bayonets
Lead soldier
Ay! what a pity
That you have to kill
For peace with war
To kill the enemy
To finish the wounded
Let the pits open
And let the senses close
Steady, load and fire
A pelotn is at stake
And that when we go into combat
Don't come back whoever kills him
Lead soldier
No need
That you have to fight
By a wooden general
