“The Crazy Boots” (1974)
Genre: Sing-song rock, 1970s anti-war song from a young soldier’s perspective in Argentina. The tone reminds me of the novel Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Excellent satirical book, by the way.
Country: Argentina
Lyrics Translation:
Chorus:
———————————————-
Yo forme parte de un ejército loco,
Tenía veinte años y el pelo muy corto,
Pero, mi amigo, hubo una confusión,
Porque para ellos el loco era yo.
I was part of a crazy army,
I was twenty years old with very short hair,
But, my friend, there was a confusion,
Because for them the crazy one was me.
