  1. En la jerarquía de los militares

    In the hierarchy of the military

  2. Por analogía soy soldado raso

    By analogy, I am a foot soldier

  3. No pretendo mucho, pido andar liviano

    I don't ask for much, I just strive to stay light

  4. No hablo solo escucho y solo sigo el paso

    I don't speak, I just listen and follow the beat

  5. Soy caso perdido juraba mi abuela

    I'm a lost cause, my grandmother swore

  6. Jubile a cupido, harto del fracaso

    I retired Cupid, tired of failure

  7. Soy soldado raso, no pretendo nada

    I'm a foot soldier, I don't ask for anything

  8. Muero los domingos caigo en cada paso

    I die on Sundays, I stumble with every step

  9. Hice un testamento y le dejé mi vida

    I wrote a will and left my life behind

  10. Pa' que limpie el piso con mi amor de idiota

    So you can clean the floor with my foolish love

  11. Y como no tengo mas razón para vivir que su razón

    And since I have no reason to live but their reason

  12. Me quede aquí

    I stayed here

  13. Soy soldado raso, solo pago el peaje

    I'm just a foot soldier, I pay the toll

  14. Rabia con sonrisa tras el camuflaje

    Fury with a smile behind the camouflage

  15. Voy marcando el paso mientras sobrevivo

    I keep marking time while I survive

  16. No tengo coraje, me gano el olvido

    I have no courage, I'm swept by forgetfulness

  17. Hice un testamento y le dejé mi vida

    I made a will and left them my life

  18. Pa' que limpie el piso con mi amor de idiota

    So they can clean the floor with my foolish love

  19. Y como no tengo mas razón para vivir que su razón

    And since I have no reason to live but their reason

  20. Me quede aquí

    I stayed here

  21. Hice un testamento y le dejé mi vida

    I made a will and left my life to her

  22. Pa' que limpie el piso con mi amor de idiota

    So she can clean the floor with my foolish love

  23. Y como no tengo mas razón para vivir que su razón

    And since I have no more reason to live than her reasons

  24. Me quede aquí

    I stayed here

  25. Soy soldado raso ya no quiero nada

    I'm just a foot soldier, I don't want anything anymore

  26. Muero los domingos tras el camuflaje

    I die on Sundays beneath the camouflage
