Текст и перевод песни Little Joe - A la Guerra Ya Me Llevan

A la Guerra Ya Me Llevan

A la guerra ya me llevan madrecita
Me agarraron de la levan el dia de ayer
Hay te quedas sin tu hijito muy solita
Sabra dios si nos volveremos a ver

Ay le entregas este sobre retornado
A mi novia que no sabe en donde estoy
Y le dices que me llevan de soldado
Ya otras tierras muy lejanas yo me voy

Ya no llores madrecita por mi suerte
Que soy hombre y mi destino fue pelear
Y si al caso en el combate hayo la muerte
Yo no quisiera que tu vayas a llorar

LEAD

En mi pecho siempre llevo la medalla
Que mi madre me la dio con tanta fe
Y Si al caso no me alcansa la metraya
A tus brazos madrecita volvere

Aqui dejo a mis pobres padrecitos
Que desde ninos battallaron por la paz
Ay que miran ya volar los aeroplanos
Que me lleven derechito a Vietnam

Off to War They're Taking Me

Off to war they're taking me, my mother
They grabbed me yesterday morning
You're left here without your son, all alone
Only God knows if we'll ever see each other again

Oh, deliver this letter to my ex-girlfriend
Who doesn't know where I am
And tell her that they're taking me as a soldier
To faraway lands I now must go

Don't cry for me, my mother, for my fate
I'm a man, and my destiny is to fight
And if perchance I meet my death in battle
I wouldn't want you to cry

LEAD

I always wear the medal around my neck
That my mother gave me with so much faith
And if perchance the machine gun doesn't get me
I'll return to your arms, my mother

Here I leave my poor parents
Who have fought for peace since they were children
Oh, how they watch the airplanes fly
Taking me straight to Vietnam
