Soldadito de Bolivia, soldadito boliviano
armado vas de tu rifle, que es un rifle americano
que es un rifle americano, soldadito de Bolivia
que es un rifle americano
Te lo dio el señor Barrientos, soldadito boliviano
regalo de Mr. Johnson, para matar a tu hermano
para matar a tu hermano, soldadito de Bolivia
para matar a tu hermano
No sabes quien es el muerto, soldadito boliviano
el muerto es el Che-Guevara, y era argentino y cubano
y era argentino y cubano, soldadito de Bolivia
y era argentino y cubano
El fue tu mejor amigo, soldadito boliviano
el fue el amigo del pobre, del oriente al altiplano
del oriente al altiplano, soldadito de Bolivia
del oriente al altiplano
Está mi guitarra entera, soldadito boliviano
de luto pero no llora, aunque llorar es humano
aunque llorar es humano, soldadito de Bolivia
aunque llorar es humano
No llora por que la hora, soldadito boliviano
no es de lagrima y pañuelo, sino de machete en mano
sino de machete en mano, soldadito de Bolivia
sino de machete en mano
Con el cobre que te paga, soldadito boliviano
que te vendes que te pagas, es lo que piensa el tirano
es lo que piensa el tirano, soldadito de Bolivia
es lo que piensa el tirano
Pero aprenderás seguro, soldadito boliviano
que a un hermano no se mata, que no se mata a un hermano
que no se mata a un hermano, soldadito de Bolivia
que no se mata a un hermano
que no se mata a un hermano
