Jose
Aventura/Miri Ben-Ari Lyrics

Las maletas en la puerta, Jose ya se va a marchar
Jose is leaving for war and the sight of his suitcases by the door is a painful reminder for his family.

A la Guerra por su patria sin fecha de regresar, ahh ahh
Jose is going to war for his homeland and doesn't know when he'll be back, if ever.

Dice a los niños recen mucho por su padre, los voy a extrañar, Why una esposa preocupada, una agonia con ganas de reclamar
Jose tells his kids to pray for him and his wife is anxious about his safety and has the urge to complain but doesn't.

Quien nos cuida, why nos proteje Como tu siempre lo has hecho, Como duermo si dormia acostadita en tu pecho, Quien despierta mis mañanas con chuleria why besitos, Why en esta navidad quien alumbra el arbolito, Aunque tengo la esperanza de que dios sige tus pasos, Hoy se sabe que un soldado facil puede fracazar, Quien me da la garantia de que volveras a casa, Porque miro tu retrato why me dan ganas de llorar
Jose's family feels lost without his care and protection, struggles to sleep without resting in his embrace, and misses his cheery wake-up calls and kisses. They wonder who will brighten their Christmas tree, who will guarantee Jose's safe return, and his wife gets emotional every time she sees his picture.

Les presento , Mary Benery She?s nassstty, Llora me ami, llora
This is a brief interjection and introduction to someone named Mary Benery who we don't know much about but who seems to be crying and the word 'nasty' might be used sarcastically.

Una historia un poco amarga, Jose tiene que partir,ahhhh ahhhh Un soldado en batalla sin saber cual es su fin, Ya se despide why le dice a el mas pequeño no llores asi, Que pronto vuelvo, why la esposa en silencio oculta el sufrir, Tiene un nudo en la garganta, pero no quiere llorar, Ella sabe que con llantos nada puede remediar, Why disfrasa su tristesa con sonrisa a angelical, aunque muriendo por dentro le quisiera reprochar?
Jose leaving is a bitter tale, as he goes to battle he doesn't know if he'll return alive or not. As he bids his farewell, he tells his little one not to cry as he hopes to return soon. His wife tries to hide her suffering and chokes back her tears. She knows crying won't solve anything and puts on a fake smile to disguise her true feelings, even though she wants to say something to Jose.

This one goes out to all those fallen soldiers, the heroes that go to battle for us?May they rest in peace.
This final line is a tribute to all soldiers, past and present, who fought or died defending their country and their people.
