Zangra

Zangra
My name is Zangra and I am a lieutenant
At the Belonzio fort which dominates the plain
From where the enemy will come, who will make me a hero
While waiting for that day, I sometimes get bored
So I go to the village, to see the girls in herds
But they dream of love, and I, of my horses
My name is Zangra and I'm already a captain
At the Belonzio fort which dominates the plain
Where will the enemy come from who will make me a hero?
While waiting for that day, I sometimes get bored
So I go to the village to see young Consuelo
But she talks about love, and I talk about my horses
My name is Zangra now Commander
At the Belonzio fort which dominates the plain
From where the enemy will come, who will make me a hero
While waiting for that day, I sometimes get bored
So I go to the village, to drink with Don Pedro
He drinks to my loves and I to his horses
My name is Zangra, I am an old colonel
At the Belonzio fort which dominates the plain
Where will the enemy come from who will make me a hero?
While waiting for that day, I sometimes get bored
So I go to the village to see Pedro's widow
I finally talk about love, but she, about my horses
My name is Zangra yesterday too old general
I left Belonzio which dominates the plain
And the enemy is there, I will not be a hero
