El Primer Oriental Desertor

I heard on Radio Clarin
That Uruguay was invaded by Brazil
And the announcer says
They have already taken Tacuarembó

And they want to recruit
To go fight
To guys my age
And I say: Please no, my general!

That in this war thing I'm a faggot
And my hero was not Napoleon
It would be no dishonor
Being the first oriental defector

The war thing is something new for me
Because I don't give a damn about my country
I just want to live freely
What do I care what flag is in Plaza Cagancha?

Stop bothering me
They are not going to conquer me
Not even in a military dictatorship
I never shouted: Tyrants tremble

And of Artigas in me there is only
The desire to erase Paraguay
With the first grone that walks around
I will be the first oriental deserter

That cartoon of the 33
Only a schoolboy or a soldier believes it
So go to another theater
Because I don't think I'm the oriental 34

And if there is no other choice
That freedom or death, I
I'm going to choose the letter o
I will be the first oriental deserter

Deserter
Deserter
Deserter
Like a piece of the heavens, of the heavens
Where the sun never sets, the sun sets
It is the flag of my country
The tricolor flag
Deserter
Deserter
Deserter
Deserter
