Como me duele el olvido
Como duele el corazon
Como duele esa vida
Sin tener te al lado, amor
Corazon es pinado

How it hurts to forget
How my heart aches

My heart is pierced

Monkees', "Last Train To Clarksville"
The Lyrics:
Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station.
You can be there by 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation,
Don't be slow, Oh no no no, oh no no no!
'Cause I'm leaving in the morning
And I must see you again.
We'll have one more night together
'Til the morning brings my train
And I must go. Oh no no no, oh no no no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.
Why:
A bouncy rock-pop tempo seems to run counter to lyrics about a soldier spending one last night with his girl before going off to war.
