Jose

The suitcases at the doorLas maletas en la puerta
Jose is about to leave (ahh ahh)Jose ya se va a marchar (ah, ah)
To war for his countryA la guerra por su patria
With no return date (ahh ahh)Sin fecha de regresar (ah, ah)
He tells the children to pray a lot for their fatherDice a los niños recen mucho por su padre
I'm going to miss youLos voy a extrañar
And a worried wifeY una esposa preocupada
An agony eager to claimUna agonía con ganas de reclamar

Who takes care of us and protects usQuien nos cuidas y nos protege
As you always haveComo tu siempre lo has hecho
How do I sleep if I sleptComo duermo si dormía
(Lying on your chest)(Acostadita en tu pecho)
Who wakes up my mornings with charm and little kissesQuien despierta mis mañanas con chuleria y besitos
This Christmas (who lights up the tree)En esta Navidad (quien alumbra el arbolito)
And although I have hope that God follows your stepsY aunque tengo la esperanza de que Dios sigue tus pasos
Jose knows that a soldier (can easily fail)Jose sabe que un soldado (fácil puede fracasar)
Who gives me the guarantee that you will come back homeQuien me da la garantía de que volverás a casa
Because I look at your picture (and feel like crying)Porque miro tu retrato (y me dan ganas de llorar)

Now tell me whoAhora dime quien
Now tell me whoAhora dime quien

She has a lump in her throatTiene un nudo en la garganta
But doesn't want to cryPero no quiere llorar
She knows that tears can't fix anythingElla sabe que con llantos nada puede remediar
And 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

Who takes care of us and protects usQuien nos cuidas y nos protege
As you always haveComo tu siempre lo has hecho
How do I sleep if I sleptComo duermo si dormía
(Lying on your chest)(Acostadita en tu pecho)
Who wakes up my mornings with charm and little kissesQuien despierta mis mañanas con chuleria y besitos
This Christmas (who lights up the tree)En esta Navidad (quien alumbra el arbolito)
And although I have hope that God follows your stepsY aunque tengo la esperanza de que Dios sigue tus pasos
Jose knows that a soldier (can easily fail)Jose sabe que un soldado (fácil puede fracasar)
Who gives me the guarantee that you will come back homeQuien me da la garantía de que volverás a casa
