El Novio de La Muerte

Nobody in the Tercio knew
Who was that legionnaire?
So bold and reckless
That he enlisted in the legion

Nobody knew his story
And the legion supposed
That a great pain bit him
Like a wolf, the heart

And if any of them asked him
With pain and rudeness, he answered her

I am a man whom luck
He struck with the claw of a beast
I'm a boyfriend of death
That will join in a strong bond
With such a loyal companion

The rougher the fire was
And the fiercest fight
Defending his flag
The legionnaire advanced

And without fearing the push
Of the exalted enemy
He knew how to die like a brave man
And the flag was rescued

And by watering the burning earth with his blood
The legionnaire murmured in a mournful voice

I am a man whom luck
He wounded with the claw of a beast
I'm a boyfriend of death
That will join in a strong bond
With such a loyal companion

When they finally picked him up
Between his chest they found
A letter and a portrait
Of a divine woman

And that letter said
If one day God calls you
For me, a position demands
I'll be looking for you soon

And in the last kiss that I sent her
His final farewell consecrated him

For going to your side to see you
My most loyal companion
I became a boyfriend of death
I held her tight with a strong bow
And his love was my flag
