Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Bandera by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.

Tanto Superman de importación

Tanto convenio internacional

Le dejó sin juventud

Why le dio un fusil why poco más

Un billete de ida hacia un lugar
A one-way ticket to a place
Que no sabía ni pronunciar
That he didn't even know how to pronounce
Con la excusa echa oficial de

Disparar en nombre de la paz

Why ahora que regresa
Why now that he returns
Un año después

En el mismo tren

Por qué tenemos que luchar

Si queda tanto amor vencido por ganar
If there is so much love defeated to win
Why tanto amor vencido que tiene

Chorus 1
Por bandera esa persona que te espera
As a flag that person who waits for you
Por bandera las cosas que dejaste a medias
As a flag the things that you left halfway
Por bandera las tardes de risas why sin problemas

Por bandera ver atardecer

Desde mi ventana en primavera

He returns home for Christmas
Con su madre why su turrón

Pero el del spot sonríe más

Les diré a los que juegan a ser Dios
