Lyrics

Se que quieren madrugarle
A un general lastimado
Nunca se olviden babosos
Que aun traigo el rifle cargado
Asi que sus resorteras
Apuntenlas pa otro lado
Si mi paloma alzo el vuelo
Fue por un mal entendido
Hoy que regreso, regresa
Hoy se regresa pal nido
Y en el nido sobran huevos
Perdonen lo presumido
Soy general de hace un rato
Soy padre de mas de 5
Como me traten les trato
Como la pinten la brinco
Soy general de hace un rato
Y aunque ahora estoy lastimado
Que nunca olvide la tropa
Que aun no me han sepultado
Supe que un soldado raso
Quiso ponerse mis botas
Su intento hasta me dio risa
Es fantasia de idiotas
El general calza grande
Si de sus huellas lo notas
Soy general de hace un rato
Soy padre de mas de 5
Como me traten les trato
Como la pinten la brinco
Soy general de hace un rato
Y aunque ahora estoy lastimado
Que nunca olvide la tropa
Que aun no me han sepultado

Lyrics translation

I know you want to get up early.
A wounded general
Never forget slugs
That I still have the loaded rifle
So your resorteras
Point them on the other side
If my pigeon I fly up
It was a misunderstanding.
Today I come back, come back
Today is back pal nest
And there are eggs left in the nest
Forgive the presumptuous
I'm a general from a while ago
I am a father of over 5
How they treat me I treat them
As they paint it I jump
I'm a general from a while ago
And although now I'm hurt
May he never forget the troop
That I have not yet been buried
I heard a private
He wanted to put on my boots
His attempt even gave me laughter
It's an idiot's fantasy.
General big shoes
If you notice from his prints
I'm a general from a while ago
I am a father of over 5
How they treat me I treat them
As they paint it I jump
I'm a general from a while ago
And although now I'm hurt
May he never forget the troop
That I have not yet been buried
