Lyrics
Se marchó a la calle esta mañana
Al entierro de su compañero
Por la decisión de su mirada
Yo sabía que iba al matadero.
Cuando ya hubo anochecido
Lo trajeron mal herido
Y pensé que inutil oblación
Sólo era un niño.
Qué dirán los que mandaban
Qué dirán sus compañeros
Quién sabrá que al verse morir
Siguió creyendo.
Me dirán que fué simiente, me dirán
Me dirán que fué todo un valiente
Me dirán no hay más camino, me dirán
Me dirán que era su destino.
Pero quién dirá conmigo
Si le queda algún amigo
Ahora que me ven todos llorar
Sólo era un niño.
Me dirán que fué valiente
Me dirán que fué el destino
Quién dirá al verme llorar
Sólo era un niño.
Lyrics translation
He took off on the street this morning.
To the burial of his companion
By the decision of his gaze
I knew he was going to the slaughterhouse.
When it was already dark
He was brought in badly wounded.
And I thought that useless oblation
He was just a kid.
What will those who commanded say
What will your companions say
Who will know that by watching him die
He kept believing.
They'll tell me it was seed, they'll tell me
They'll tell me he was a brave man.
They'll tell me there's no way, they'll tell me
They'll tell me it was their destiny.
But who will tell me
If you have any friends left
Now that they all see me crying
He was just a kid.
They'll tell me he was brave.
They'll tell me it was fate.
Who will say to see me cry
He was just a kid.
