Lyrics

Cuando no queda nada ya mejor que la lluvia
y entrar en cualquier bar y pedir un Martini
y volver a largarse sin haberlo pagado
y odiar a las parejas que salen de los cines.
Las siete de la tarde, quisiera estar borracho,
hace ya dos semanas que Lucia no me escribe,
no para de llover, camarero otra copa
con alcohol se hace menos mono son a la mili
el capitán nos habla del amor a la patria,
el sargento del orden y de la disciplina
los soldados dormitan, cuentan los días que faltan
o se llenan la panza de vino en la cantina.
Sus madres les envían paquetes con chorizo,
salchichones, embutidos??¦
Sus novias largas cartas, corazones pintados,
dibujados, dibujados??¦
la ciudad cuando salen les es hostil y extraña
y las chachas no quieren ya nada con soldados.
Queda el pobre consuelo de andar de cuando en cuando
a aumentar la clientela de una casa de putas
y pasar media hora de amor apresurado
a esa gorda que hace rebaja a los reclutas
y el lunes otra vez, como no mi teniente
tiene mucha razón, si claro, desde luego,
cuerpo a tierra, saluden, media vuelta, de frente,
firmes, alto, descansen, carguen, apunten, fuego.

Lyrics translation

When there's nothing left better than the rain
and walk into any bar and order a Martini
and leave again without having paid for it
and hate couples coming out of theaters.
Seven o'clock, I wish I was drunk.,
Lucia hasn't written to me in two weeks.,
it keeps raining, waiter another drink
with alcohol becomes less monkey are to the Milli
the captain tells us about the love of the Fatherland,
the sergeant of order and discipline
soldiers sleep, count the days left
or they fill their bellies with wine in the canteen.
Their mothers send them packages with chorizo,
sausages, sausages??¦
His girlfriends long letters, painted hearts,
drawn, drawn??¦
the city when they leave is hostile and strange to them
and the chachas don't want anything with soldiers anymore.
There remains the poor comfort of walking from time to time
to increase the clientele of a whorehouse
and spend half an hour of hasty love
that fat woman who puts down the recruits
and on Monday again, as not my lieutenant
you're very right, yes, of course.,
body to ground, salute, turn around, forward,
steady, stop, rest, load, aim, fire.
