Interesting, I never knew that the boyfriend left for the military.
I have heard, but not understood the song in Spannish.
And the english version doesn't mention the military.
Lots of women are called Macarena. It's a name. Lots of songs made that feature people names, like Jolene, Alejandro, Mrs Robinson, Roxanne, etc.
Natalie, a boy named Sue, miss sarajevo, Mr wendal….
Bob Dobalina, Mr. Jones...
