En la jerarquía de los militares
In the hierarchy of the military
Por analogía soy soldado raso
By analogy, I am a foot soldier
No pretendo mucho, pido andar liviano
I don't ask for much, I just strive to stay light
No hablo solo escucho y solo sigo el paso
I don't speak, I just listen and follow the beat
Soy caso perdido juraba mi abuela
I'm a lost cause, my grandmother swore
Jubile a cupido, harto del fracaso
I retired Cupid, tired of failure
Soy soldado raso, no pretendo nada
I'm a foot soldier, I don't ask for anything
Muero los domingos caigo en cada paso
I die on Sundays, I stumble with every step
Hice un testamento y le dejé mi vida
I wrote a will and left my life behind
Pa' que limpie el piso con mi amor de idiota
So you can clean the floor with my foolish love
Y como no tengo mas razón para vivir que su razón
And since I have no reason to live but their reason
Me quede aquí
I stayed here
Soy soldado raso, solo pago el peaje
I'm just a foot soldier, I pay the toll
Rabia con sonrisa tras el camuflaje
Fury with a smile behind the camouflage
Voy marcando el paso mientras sobrevivo
I keep marking time while I survive
No tengo coraje, me gano el olvido
I have no courage, I'm swept by forgetfulness
Hice un testamento y le dejé mi vida
I made a will and left them my life
Pa' que limpie el piso con mi amor de idiota
So they can clean the floor with my foolish love
Y como no tengo mas razón para vivir que su razón
And since I have no reason to live but their reason
Me quede aquí
I stayed here
Hice un testamento y le dejé mi vida
I made a will and left my life to her
Pa' que limpie el piso con mi amor de idiota
So she can clean the floor with my foolish love
Y como no tengo mas razón para vivir que su razón
And since I have no more reason to live than her reasons
Me quede aquí
I stayed here
Soy soldado raso ya no quiero nada
I'm just a foot soldier, I don't want anything anymore
Muero los domingos tras el camuflaje
I die on Sundays beneath the camouflage
