Por Bandera

So much Superman from overseas
So many international agreements
Left him without youth
And gave him a rifle and little else
A one-way ticket to a place
That he couldn't even pronounce
With the official excuse of
Shooting in the name of peace
And now that he's back
A year later
On the same train
He still doesn't understand
Why we have to fight
If there's so much love defeated to win
And so much defeated love
By flag that person waiting for you
By flag the things you left unfinished
By flag the afternoons of laughter and no problems
By flag watching the sunset
From my window in spring
From my window in spring

Like the TV commercial
He comes back home for Christmas
With his mother and his nougat
But the one in the ad smiles more
And without intending to bother
I'll tell those who play God
That they're too old
To be the cop and the robber
And now that he remembers
Twenty years later
That old train
He still doesn't understand
Why we had to fight
Having so much defeated love

By flag that person waiting for you
By flag the things you left unfinished
By flag the afternoons of laughter and no problems
By flag watching the sunset from my window
By flag that person waiting for you
By flag the things you left unfinished
By flag the afternoons of laughter in the square
By flag watching the sunset
From my window in spring
From my window in spring
By flag
