Si Yo Fuera Dios
Los Suaves
If I Were God
Yesterday, yesterday, I think it was yesterday
Yesterday, after six nights
Yesterday, after six days
Yesterday I finally rested, and finally managed to sleep
And while sleeping I had a dream, which like all dreams,
as it has to be, ended in a nightmare
And I dreamed, I thought, well I dreamed...
God forbid, I dreamed I was God
And, if I were God, do you know what I would do?...
...
If I were God, the nights would have more stars.
I would travel more to Earth to try to be a man.
Even if in the end I die on any given evening
The place, it doesn't matter where...
If I were God the flood would still continue,
tears that never stop flooding this ruin
how boring, in seven days I made not long ago
without knowing what to do, nor what I was doing.
If I were God I would be afraid of time
Years without fights, silence! road without return of the days
Rest for lifeless souls, hours that do not escape.
Hours that commit suicide.
Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave
Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave
Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave
Night that you leave, take my hand, night that you leave!
(Solo)
If I were God, builder of castles in the air
that then fill with men who slowly see that their dreams
are lost in the drains, sewers of the sky, yes...
Sewers of hell.
If I were God, voice that trembled when it left,
leaving the earth mute like an old naked woman
Without name, without memories, without burial...
Well, I forgot, it still has the moon.
If I were God, sunny night, mornings hide
Climbing the wind one less problem when I have died
Sleep the dream, it was time, laughter full of rain
Oh rain, crying life.
Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave
Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave
Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave
Night that you leave, give me your hand, Oh my life, how you leave!
(Solo)
Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave
Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave
If I were God I would ask forgiveness from the devil.
Lucifer, who at birth was called that and who for refusing to be a servant
'I will not serve,' he said and for that reason, forever,
banished to hell.
If I were God... I could never be God!
I would go to the other side of the night... tired of myself, tired of God
tired of making suffer, of living
and more than anything, tired of being alone.
If I were God and you asked me for my life
Do you want to know what I would do? pay attention to what I tell you, listen, look,
that without a doubt for a moment, I swear by myself,
I swear by God that I would give it to you.

Night that you leave, give me your hand, night that you leave (x4)
