José

The suitcases at the door José is about to leaveLas maletas en la puerta José ya se va a marchar
To war for his country with no return dateA la guerra por su patria sin fecha de regresar
He tells the children to pray a lot for their father, I will miss themDice a los niños recen mucho por su padre los voy a extrañar
And a worried wife, an agony eager to complainY una esposa preocupada, una agonia con ganas de reclamar

(José, José)(José, José)

Who takes care of us and protects us as you always have?¿Quien nos cuida y nos protege como tu siempre lo has hecho?
How do I sleep? If I used to sleep snuggled in your chest¿Como duermo? Si dormia acostadita en tu pecho
Who wakes up my mornings with charm and little kisses?¿Quien despierta mis mañanas con chuleria y besitos?
And this ChristmasY en esta Navidad
Who lights up the tree?¿Quien alumbra el arbolito?

And even though I have hope that God follows your stepsY aunque tengo la esperanza de que Dios sigue tus pasos
It is well known that a soldier can easily failBien se sabe que un soldado fácil puede fracasar
Who guarantees me that you will come back home?¿Quien me da la garantia de que volverás a casa?
Because I look at your picture and feel like cryingPorque miro tu retrato y me dan ganas de llorar

Now tell me, Who?Ahora dime, ¿Quien?
Now tell me, Who?Ahora dime, ¿Quien?

She's nastyShe's nasty
Cry violin, cryLlora violin, llora
A slightly bitter storyUna historia un poco amarga
José has to leaveJosé tiene que partir
A soldier in battle without knowing his endUn soldado en batalla sin saber cual es su fin
He says goodbye and tells the youngest one not to cry like thatYa se despide y le dice al más pequeño no llores así

That he will be back soon and the wife silently hides the sufferingQue pronto vuelvo y la esposa en silencio oculta el sufrir
She has a lump in her throat, but doesn't want to cryTiene un nudo en la garganta, pero no quiere llorar
She knows that with tears nothing can be fixedElla sabe que con llantos nada puede remediar
And she disguises her sadness with an angelic smileY disfraza su tristeza con sonrisa angelical
Although dying inside, she would like to reproachAunque muriendo por dentro le quisiera reprochar

(José, José)(José, José)
