Lyrics
En esa puerta… del cuartel
Está enterrada una mujer
Valiente como no hubo dos
Su patria supo defender
Cada año se mira llegar
A un hombre que le va a rezar
A un general de división
Que no se puede consolar
Mí soldadita… le grita
Mí soldadita
Porque te fuiste… mi vida
¡Hay! Mi negrita
Me hubieras dejado morir
Ya me iban a fusilar
Porque ofrendaste tu vida
Para poderme salvar
Mí soldadita… le grita
Mí soldadita
Porque te fuiste… mi vida
¡Hay! Mi negrita
Me hubieras dejado morir
Ya me iban a fusilar
Porque ofrendaste tu vida
Para poderme salvar
Para poderme salvar
¡Descanse en paz!
Lyrics translation
In that door ... of the barracks
A woman is buried.
Brave as there were two
His homeland knew how to defend
Every year he looks to arrive
To a man who's going to pray
To a Major general
That can't be comforted
My little soldier ... yells at him
My little soldier
Because you left... my life
Hay! My bold
You would have let me die
I was about to get shot.
Because you offered your life
So I can save myself
My little soldier ... yells at him
My little soldier
Because you left... my life
Hay! My bold
You would have let me die
I was about to get shot.
Because you offered your life
So I can save myself
So I can save myself
Rest in peace!
