Verse 1
The old colonel was a veteran
El viejo coronel era un veterano
Each night he'd take his medicine
Cada noche tomaba su medicina
And stay up watchin' letterman
Y quédate despierto mirando Letterman
Trying to forget
Tratando de olvidar
The things he saw when he was young
Las cosas que vio cuando era joven
The carnage and the sound of guns
La carnicería y el sonido de las armas
He kept his pain from everyone
Mantuvo su dolor de todos
With the ink inside his pen
Con la tinta dentro de su pluma
Chorus 1
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
El coronel mantuvo un diario de sus problemas y arrepentimientos
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
Sus batallas eran internas, guerras furiosas dentro de su cabeza
'til the end, he was a soldier
hasta el final, era un soldado
'cause the fight was never over
porque la pelea nunca terminó
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
El coronel llevaba un diario y lo dejaba en una caja
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
Enterrado en el sótano debajo de unos calcetines sucios
'til the end, he was a soldier
hasta el final, era un soldado
'cause the fight was never over
porque la pelea nunca terminó
Verse 2
And the day he died, his kids flew in
Y el día que murió, sus hijos volaron
Took some time just to remember him
Tomó algo de tiempo solo para recordarlo
They cleaned up his old medicine
Limpiaron su vieja medicina
As everybody wept
Mientras todos lloraban
They were packing up the cellar
Estaban empacando el sótano
When they found his diary, read it and
Cuando encontraron su diario, lo leyeron y
Couldn't believe the things he said
No podía creer las cosas que dijo
With the ink inside his pen
Con la tinta dentro de su pluma
Chorus 2
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
El coronel mantuvo un diario de sus problemas y arrepentimientos
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
Sus batallas eran internas, guerras furiosas dentro de su cabeza
'til the end, he was a soldier
hasta el final, era un soldado
'cause the fight was never over
porque la pelea nunca terminó
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
El coronel llevaba un diario y lo dejaba en una caja
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
Enterrado en el sótano debajo de unos calcetines sucios
'til the end, he was a soldier
hasta el final, era un soldado
'cause the fight was never over
porque la pelea nunca terminó

Verse 3
The old colonel was a veteran
El viejo coronel era un veterano
My granddad, and a gentleman
Mi abuelo y un caballero
I'll always remember him
Siempre lo recordaré
I swear i won't forget
Te juro que no lo olvidaré
The things he saw when he was young
Las cosas que vio cuando era joven
The carnage and the sound of guns
La carnicería y el sonido de las armas
And the pain he kept from everyone
Y el dolor que le ocultó a todos
With the ink inside his pen
Con la tinta dentro de su pluma
Chorus 3
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
El coronel mantuvo un diario de sus problemas y arrepentimientos
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
Sus batallas eran internas, guerras furiosas dentro de su cabeza
'til the end, he was a soldier
hasta el final, era un soldado
'cause the fight was never over
porque la pelea nunca terminó
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
El coronel llevaba un diario y lo dejaba en una caja
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
Enterrado en el sótano debajo de unos calcetines sucios
'til the end, he was a soldier
hasta el final, era un soldado
'cause the fight was never over
porque la pelea nunca terminó
