Lyrics

Debe hacer un alto mi capitán.
Sí que estoy cansado, no puedo más.
Alerta, cúbrase, al terraplén.
Alerta estoy más cúbrete tú también.
Di soldado de dónde eres tú.
Del país vecino que hay más al sur.
Y por el río pasa la frontera
la orilla blanca, la orilla negra
y sobre el puente veo una bandera
mas no es la misma que está en mi corazón.
De los míos creo no debes ser.
Por mi uniforme lo puede ver.
No sé mis ojos ya están sin luz
me han herido y tal vez fuiste tú.
Triste es el destino mi capitán
mientras hayan guerras no cambiará.
En la colina silba la metralla
la hierba verde está quemada
y por el río continúa la batalla
nosotros dos ya llegamos al final.
Tengo que marcharme mi capitán.
Voy contigo no me querrás dejar.
No te abandonaré, lo sabes ya
que vamos juntos para la eternidad.
Todo ha pasado, hay paz en la frontera
en la orilla blanca, en la orilla negra
pero alguien llora y se desespera
gritando un nombre que no responderá.
Debe hacer un alto mi capitán.
Sí que estoy cansado, no puedo más.

Lyrics translation

You must make a stop, my captain.
I'm tired, I can't take it anymore.
Alert, cover, embankment.
Alert I'm more cover you too.
Say Soldier where you are from.
From the neighboring country that is further south.
And across the river passes the border
the White shore, the Black Shore
and over the bridge I see a flag
but it's not the same as it is in my heart.
I don't think you should be one of mine.
From my uniform you can see it.
I don't know my eyes are already out of light
I've been hurt and maybe it was you.
Sad is fate my captain
as long as there are Wars, it won't change.
On the hill whistles shrapnel
the green grass is burned
and for the river the battle continues
we're both at the end.
I have to go, captain.
I'm going with you.you don't want to leave me.
I won't leave you, you know that.
that we go together for eternity.
It's all over, there's peace on the border
on the White shore, on the Black Shore
but someone cries and despairs
shouting a name that won't answer.
You must make a stop, my captain.
I'm tired, I can't take it anymore.
