La Paloma De Acero

The dove's in the air
coming down from the mountains
it's been a few minutes
since we crossed the plains
we'll meet in Cerralbo
that's it, over and out

at the base of the cowboys
everything was being recorded
a powerful sergeant
was talking to the soldiers
tonight no one sleeps
we're all taking shifts

the clock struck ten
and a soldier was sneaking out
of the military base
to make a call
hey chief, they know everything
better change the game

you'll get your reward
soldier Pedrito Gomez
come back, stay alert
with the sergeant and his men
if any doubt creeps in
you already know my code

around midnight
they scanned another link
the pilot was warned
there are crows on the wire
head to the riverside
for the next landing

the sergeant never knew
where the tip-off came from
that a soldier in his barracks
has a million in his pocket
the dove has landed
as always, without a hitch
