No Quiero Ser Militar

I don't want to be a soldier, mother
I don't want to be a soldier.
If I have to put chains
On the man who asks for bread,
If they want me to be a toy
Of the ambitious ones only.
I am a man of the people
Who came to the city
And although I have no principles
They can't deceive me, that's why
I don't want to be a soldier
If I have to put chains
On the man who asks for bread.

I don't want to be a soldier, mother
I don't want to be a soldier
If I have to serve governments
Of thieves with a missal
Who swear to a flag
And sell their dignity
Who judge in the name of god
Who steal in the name of god
Who walk with saints and masses
Disguising their ambition, that's why
I don't want to be a soldier
If I have to serve governments
Of thieves with a missal.
