The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Sí Yo Fuera" by Ricardo Arjona.
Lyrics
Si yo fuera diputado
Seria un tipo bien intencionado
Promoveria la industria
Sin olvidar a chepe el del mercado
Si fuese cardenal
Censuraria el sermon si se repite
Conseguiria una novia
Para no andar jugando al escondite
Por eso no soy
Ni diputado ni cardenal
Soy marioneta del carnaval
De ser rey de inglaterra
Empezaria por devolver las tierras
Que se las han robado
Justo a los que no pueden darles guerra
Si fuese Demi Moore
No habria proposicion indecorosa
Por menos de un millon
Me hubiese ido a acostar con cualquire cosa
Por eso no soy
Rey de inglaterra ni Demi Moore
Soy aprendiz de cantautor
Buscando historias en los cocktailes
Puritanas en los burdeles
Buscando genios en los cuarteles
Mordiendo tiras en los retenes
Buscando flores en la basura
Buscando ilesos en las dictaduras
Buscando humanos en las caricaturas
Buscando enanos con estatura
Si yo volviera ser niño
Seguro no le haria caso a nadie
Te heredan sus complegos
Iglesia y hasta equipo de futbol
Si fuese lo que soy
Seguro pensaria esta todo bien
Que es lo que puedo hacer
Si ya soy pasagero de este tren
Por eso no soy
Ni niño ni lo que soy
Soy otro plato mas en el mantel
Lyrics translation
If I were a member
I'd be a well-meaning guy.
Promote the industry
Not forgetting Chepe the market
If I were Cardinal
I would censor the sermon if it was repeated
I'd get a girlfriend.
So you don't play hide-and-seek
That's why I'm not
Neither deputy nor Cardinal
I'm a carnival puppet
To be king of England
I'd start by giving back the land
That they've been stolen
Just those who cannot give war
Demi Moore was gone
There would be no indecent proposition
For less than a million
I would have gone to bed with anything.
That's why I'm not
King of England nor Demi Moore
I'm an apprentice singer-songwriter.
Looking for stories in the cocktailes
Puritans in brothels
Looking for geniuses in the barracks
Biting strips on the retainers
Looking for flowers in the trash
Looking unharmed in dictatorships
Looking for humans in cartoons
Looking for Dwarfs with stature
If I were to become a child again
I'm sure he wouldn't listen to anyone.
Their accomplices inherit you
Church and even football team
If I were who I am
I'm sure I'd think it was all right.
What can I do
If I'm already a passenger on this train
That's why I'm not
Neither child nor what I am
I'm another dish on the tablecloth
