Tres Alpinos

Three Alpine Soldiers
There were three alpine soldiers
Who came from the war
Di ay da, rataplan,
Who came from the war.
And the smallest one
Carried a bouquet of flowers
Di ay da, rataplan,
Carried a bouquet of flowers.
And the princess
Who was at the window,
Di ay da, rataplán,
Who was at the window.
Oh, good alpine soldier,
Give me those beautiful flowers,
Di ay da, rataplán,
Give me those beautiful flowers.
I will give them to you
If you marry me,
Di ay da, rataplán,
If you marry me.
Tell my father,
He will answer you,
Di ay da, rataplán,
He will answer you.
Oh, my good king,
I will marry your daughter,
Di ay da, rataplán,
I will marry your daughter.
