Se que quieren madrugarle
I know they want to get up early
A un general lastimado
To a wounded general
Nunca se olviden babosos
Never forget slimies
Que aún traigo el rifle cargado
I still have the rifle loaded
Así que sus resorteras
So your slingshots
Apúntenlas para otro lado
Point them the other way
Si mi paloma alzó el vuelo
If my dove took flight
Fue por un malentendido
It was because of a misunderstanding
Hoy que regreso regresa
Today when I return, come back
Hoy se regresa pa'l nido
Today he returns to the nest
Y en el nido sobran huevos
And there are plenty of eggs in the nest
Perdonen lo presumido
Forgive the presumption
Soy general de haré un rato
I'm a general for a while
Soy padre de más de cinco
I am a father of more than five
Como me traten les trato
How they treat me I treat them
Como la pinten la brinco
How they paint it I'll jump it
Soy general de haré un rato
I'm a general for a while
Y aunque ahora estoy lastimado
And even though now I'm hurt
Que nunca olvide la tropa
May you never forget the troops
Que aún no me han sepultado
They haven't buried me yet
Supe que un soldado raso
I learned that a private
Quiso ponerse mis botas
He wanted to wear my boots
Su intento hasta me dio risa
His attempt even made me laugh
Es fantasía de idiotas
It's idiots' fantasy
El general calza grande
The general wears big shoes
Si de sus huellas lo notas
If you notice it from his footprints
Soy general de haré un rato
I'm a general for a while
Soy padre de más de cinco
I am a father of more than five
Como me traten les trato
How they treat me I treat them
Como la pinten la brinco
How they paint it I'll jump it
Soy general de haré un rato
I'm a general for a while
Y aunque ahora estoy lastimado
And even though now I'm hurt
Que nunca olvide la tropa
May you never forget the troops
Que aún no me han sepultado
They haven't buried me yet
