La Oreja De Van Gogh - Madre, Anoche En Las Trincheras

Here is a link to the story of this song (in Spanish).


Translation in
Madre, Anoche En Las TrincherasMother, Last Night In The Trenches
Madre, anoche en las trincheras
Entre el fuego de metralla
Vi al enemigo correr.
La noche estaba estrellada

Apunté con mi fusil
Al tiempo que disparaba
Y una luz iluminó
El rostro que yo mataba

Era mi amigo José
Compañero de la escuela
Con quien tanto yo jugué
A soldados y trincheras

Hoy el juego era verdad
Y a mi amigo ya lo entierran.
Madre, ya quiero morir.
Ya estoy harto de esta guerra

Madre, si vuelvo a escribir
Tal vez sea desde el cielo
Donde encontraré a José
Y jugaremos de nuevo

La Oreja De Van Gogh
Os deseamos
Un feliz 2014
Repleto de paz
Mother, last night in the trenches
Among the hail of shrapnel
I saw the enemy running.
The night was starry

I aimed with my rifle
At the [same] time that he was shooting
And a light illuminated
The face that I was killing

It was my friend José
The schoolmate
With whom I played
‘Soldiers and trenches’ a lot

Today the game was real
And now they are burying my friend.
Mother, now I want to die.
I am fed up with this war now

Mother, if I write again
Perhaps it may be from heaven
Where I will find José
And we will play again

La Oreja De Van Gogh
Wish you
A happy 2014
Full of peace
