Zangra

Zangra
My name is Zangra and I'm a lieutenant
At Fort Belonzio overlooking the plain
Where the enemy will come to make me a hero
In the meantime, I get bored sometimes
So I head to town to see the girls in herds
But they dream of love and I dream of my horses
My name is Zangra and I'm already a captain
At Fort Belonzio overlooking the plain
Where the enemy will come to make me a hero
In the meantime, I get bored sometimes
So I head to town to see young Consuelo
But she talks about love and I talk about my horses
My name is Zangra, now a commander
At Fort Belonzio overlooking the plain
Where the enemy will come to make me a hero
In the meantime, I get bored sometimes
So I head to town to drink with Don Pedro
He drinks to my loves and I drink to his horses
My name is Zangra, I'm an old colonel
At Fort Belonzio overlooking the plain
Where the enemy will come to make me a hero
In the meantime, I get bored sometimes
So I head to town to see Pedro's widow
I finally talk about love but she talks about my horses
My name is Zangra, yesterday too old a general
I left Belonzio overlooking the plain
And the enemy is here, I won't be a hero
