El Soldado Enamorado

The Soldier in Love

El Soldado Enamorado

He woke up as early as the sunSe levantó tan temprano como el sol
Feeling like a heartbreakerSintiéndose un demoledor
Like a soldier approaching the battalionComo un soldado que se arrima al batallón
He looked up and jumpedAlzó la vista y se lanzó

He went out whistling, confident and smilingSalió silbando seguro y sonriente
The happiest songLa más alegre canción
Taking big steps, marching forwardA grandes pasos +*marchando y al frente
To confess his loveA confesarle su amor

Today he fell in love, never thought about itHoy él se enamoró, nunca lo pensó
Never believed in anythingNunca creyó en nada
No one brought him downNadie lo derribó
His tired heartSu cansado corazón

So he arrived at the door of the placeAsí llegó a la puerta del lugar
He was in front of loveEstaba en frente del amor
With a wilting flower in his buttonholeCon una flor ya marchita en el ojal
That squeezed his heartQue le apretaba el corazón

She looked calm and smilingElla miraba tranquila y sonriente
In front of her humble mansionFrente a su humilde mansión
He was winning over his sleeping beautyÉl conquistaba a su bella durmiente
With his only pair of pantsCon su único pantalón
