Soldado Ferido
Elias Silva
Wounded Soldier
A bloody battle, a soldier got hit
And losing a lot of blood, he couldn't hold on
And he said to his buddy
Come on, just end it quick, I don't want to suffer anymore
And he said: I can't
I’ll ask the commander, let him decide
The blood is flowing
I can't make this call alone, I need to consult
Wounded soldier, the King counts on you
Even with blood gushing
And strength fading, you gotta fight
Wounded soldier, the King sends word to you
The war is winding down
Win this last battle
The King is counting on you
When the commander learned what had happened
In the midst of battle, a soldier is wounded
Who said to his buddy: Come on, just end it quick
I can't take this pain anymore
He quickly sent a letter, telling the King what’s going on
And the King replied
Oh wounded soldier, you can't die
The King counts on you
When the soldier read the letter he received
From his glorious King brought by his messenger
He drew his sword
And rallied his buddies to face the enemy
Everyone wanted to know
What had happened to the wounded soldier
In the King’s letter it was written: The King counts on you
