THE TROOPER

You'll Take My Life But I'll Take Yours Too 
You'll Fire Your Musket But I'll Run You Through 
So When You're Waiting For The Next Attack 
You'd Better Stand There's No Turning Back 

The Bugle Sounds And The Charge Begins 
But On This Battlefield No One Wins 
The Smell Of Acrid Smoke And Horses Breath 
As I Plunge On Into Certain Death 

Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 

The Horse He Sweats With Fear We Break To Run 
The Mighty Roar Of The Russian Guns 
And As We Race Toward The Human Wall 
The Screams Of Pain As My Comrades Fall 

We Hurdle Bodies That Lay On The Ground 
And The Russians Fire Another Round 
We Get So Near Yet So Far Away 
We Won't Live To Fight Another Day 

Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 

We Get So Close Near Enough To Fight 
When A Russian Gets Me In His Sights 
He Pulls The Trigger And I Feel The Blow 
A Burst Of Rounds Take My Horse Below 

And As I Lay There Gazing At The Sky 
My Body's Numb And My Throat Is Dry 
And As I Lay Forgotten And Alone 
Without A Tear I Draw My Parting Groan 

Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh.

LA LEYENDA DEL HADA Y EL MAGO

Cuenta la historia de un mago
que un día en su bosque encantado lloró.
porque a pesar de su magia
no había podido encontrar el amor.
La luna, su única amiga
le daba fuerzas para soportar
todo el dolor que sentía
por culpa de su tan larga soledad.
Es que él sabía muy bien que en su existir
nunca debía salir de su destino.
si alguien te tiene que amar, ya lo sabrás
sólo tendrás que saber reconocerlo.
Fue en una tarde que el mago
paseando en el bosque la vista cruzó
con la más dulce mirada
que en toda su vida jamás conoció.
Desde ese mismo momento
el hada y el mago quisieron estar
sólos los dos en el bosque
amándose siempre y en todo lugar.
Y el mal que siempre existió, no soportó
ver tanta felicidad entre dos seres.
y con su odio atacó, hasta que el hada cayó
en ese sueño fatal de no sentir.
En su castillo pasaba
las noches el mago buscando el poder
que devolviera a su hada,
su amor, su mirada tan dulce de ayer.
Y no paró desde entonces
buscando la forma de recuperar
a la mujer que aquel día,
en medio del bosque por fin pudo amar.
Y hoy sabe qué es el amor, y que tendrá
fuerzas para soportar aquel conjuro.
sabe que un día verá su dulce hada llegar
y para siempre con él se quedará.

COMO ME ACUERDO

Hoy quiero hablar de ti, 
de lo que yo te amé 
Me dueles tanto, tanto

Donde estés, ven volando a mi lado 
Dónde andarás 
Dónde andarás, lejos de mí 
Quién te dará lo que te di 
Quién dormirá abrazado a ti, como yo, 
cómo me acuerdo, amor, 
como si fuera ayer 

Viento llegó, viento pasó, y tú no estás aquí 
Ay, viento pasó, y yo, cómo me acuerdo, amor

 DOOM AND GLOOM

I had a dream last night that I was piloting a plane 
And all the passengers were drunk and insane 
I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp 
Shut up a horde of zombies but I come out on top. 

What’s it about? 
I guess it just reflects my mood 
Sitting in the dirt 
Feeling kind of hurt. 

All I hear is doom and gloom 
All is darkness in my room. 
Through the light your face I see 
Baby take a chance 
Baby won’t you dance with me. 

Lost all the treasure in an overseas war 
It just goes to show you don’t get what you paid for 
Care about the rich and worrying about the poor 
Put the feet up on the couch and lock all the doors 
Hear a funky noise tightening of the screens 
Feeling kind of hurt 
Sitting in the dirt. 

All I hear is doom and gloom 
But when those drums go boom boom boom 
Through the night your face I see 
Baby take a chance 
Baby won’t you dance with me 
Yeah! 
Baby won’t you dance with me. 
Ah Yeah! 

Fracking deep for oil there’s nothing in the sump 
There’s kids all picking at the garbage dump 
I am running out of water so I better prime the pump 
I am trying to stay sober but I end up drunk. 

We’ll be eating dirt living on the side of the road 
There’s some food for thought kind of makes your head explode 
Felling kind of hurt. 

All I hear is doom and gloom 
All is darkness in my room 
Through the night your face I see 
Baby come on 
Baby won’t you dance with me 
Yeah! 
Yeah! 
Baby won’t you dance with me 
Feeling kind of hurt 
Baby won’t you dance with me 
Ah Yeah! 
Come on 
Dance with me 
Sitting in the dirt 
Baby won’t you dance with me

LA CHISPA ADECUADA

Las palabras fueron avispas
y las calles como dunas
cuando aùn te espero llegar...
en un ataùd guardo tu tacto y
una corona
con tu pelo enmarañado
queriendo encontrar un
arco-iris infinito
Mis manos que aùn son de hueso
y tu vientre sabe a pan
la catedral es tu cuerpo...
eras verano y mil tormentas, yo
el leòn que sonrìe a las paredes
que he vuelto a pintar del
mismo color
Estribillo
No se distinguir entre besos y
raìces
no sè distinguir lo complicado
de lo simple
y ahora estàs en mi lista de
promesas a olvidar
todo arde si le aplicas la chispa
adecuada
El fuego que era a veces propio
la ceniza siempre ajena
blanca esperma resbalando
por la espina dorsal
ya somos màs viejos y sinceros,
y què màs da
si miramos la "laguna"
como llaman a la eternidad
de la ausencia
Estribillo

But nevertheless in 1991 amounted to release another great album called "Hot Wire", although the band members were not happy with the things that were happening among themselves and began to look after their personal each interest.

Don´t Close Your Eyes, is one of my favorite classics, here I leave the letter.

DON´T CLOSE YOUR EYES

What’s you’re doing out in the night time? 
Won’t you call me on the phone? 
Your mama can’t solve your problem 
When’s daddy ever get home? 

So you think you’re a little bit wild 
In the middle of the suicide 

Don’t close your eyes 
Don’t close your eyes 
Don’t sing your last lullaby 

No one there to hold you 
No one is your friend 
You live life up and down now 
Nightmares on your brain 

Another lonely way of hanging round 
Don’t you take it falling down no, no 

Hold on hold on tight 
I’ll make everything all right 
Wake up, don’t go asleep 
I’ll pray the lord 
Your soul to keep 

Don’t close your eyes 
Don’t close your eyes 
Don’t sing your last lullaby 

Don’t close your eyes 
Don’t close your eyes 
Don’t sing your last lullaby

¨I´LL BE WAITING¨

He broke your heart
He took your soul
You're hurt inside
Because there's a hole
You need some time
To be alone

Then you will find
What you always know

I'm the one who really loves you baby
I've been knocking at your door

As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there

I've seen you cry
Into the night
I feel your pain
Can I make it right
I realized there's no end inside
Yet still I'll wait
For you to see the light

I'm the one who really loves you baby
I can't take it anymore

As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there

You are my only I've ever known
That makes me feel this way
Couldn't on my own
I want to be with you until we're old

You have the love you need right in front of you
Please come home

As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there

¨I'll Be Waiting¨ this is one of my favorite songs, his message is beautiful for those who have fared poorly after in love, always someone to support you.
