Si Yo Fuera (feat. Ángela Cervantes)

What would my world be like if I were
Away from this street sphere?
If I were another being, if I lived
Beyond this wait, this ephemeral chimera?

If I were a soldier carrying an assault rifle
I would tremble thinking that I either take a life or they take mine
In a cold war that fuels hatred
For control of the oil market and territory

What would my empire be like if I were a millionaire?
Seriously, I would take all my homies out of the hood
Every day a vital experience, without working
Giving my parents a palace like the Taj Mahal

And if everything went wrong at the end of my adventure?
What if I were a homeless person aimlessly among the garbage?
Not knowing what to do, seeing yesterday, with my mind silent
Unable to stand, inert before a present that nullifies me

I wouldn't hesitate if I were a woman
I would demand respect from anyone who saw me as an object of pleasure
I would make them see that I am the strong sex, full of self-esteem
Spitting on the pig who put his hand on me

If there are divine forces
Why does man suffer so much and numb himself?
If I were God, I would punish the church
For the deaths committed in my name
For the pedophilia of those beasts in cassocks and uniforms

And I want to be huge, like the mountains
More than just a flesh doll, wrapping entrails
If reality hurts me, I prepare for the next step
Because if I were you, I would live intensely

If I were in another skin
If I were far from this cage
If I weren't who I am
Without the weight on my back
Tell me, what would become of me?
If I lived far from this street sphere
If I were, if I were

If I were president, I would fulfill my promises
I would demand that the law treat the king and the beggar equally
Committed against the climate disaster
The burden of capitalism and an asthmatic planet

If I were a troublesome boy, what would I do?
I would be lying on the street like a pariah all day
I would look for someone weaker and threaten them
Maybe I would end up dead, maybe in prison

And if I were a police officer, I would never abuse my power
I would know how to listen, without suspecting every intruder in the brawl
My badge would bring order, not fear
I wouldn't be another bastard who forces you to bite the ground

My comfort is to see myself free like a child
Because if I were a father, I would speak to him with affection
I would tell him I would be proud of him, whatever happens
That life is short and to be happy, even if he fails, not to give up

And what would I think if I were a terrorist?
Why impose my ideology on other points of view?
If armed violence leads nowhere
Only to see the blood of innocents spilled on the road

With my hand raised for those who leave, for those who are not here
I wonder who would cry if I were deceased?
If I were free beyond this absurd system
And the invisible bars of my world

If I were in another skin
If I were far from this cage
If I weren't who I am
Without the weight on my back
Tell me, what would become of me?
If I lived far from this street sphere
If I were, if I were

Away from my skin in another place
Away from my being I could fly
If I left this sphere
If I were, if I were (yeah!)
Away from my skin in another place (in another place)
Away from my being I could fly (yes!)
If I left this sphere (this sphere, this sphere, yeah!)

If I were in another skin (in another skin)
If I were far from this cage (far from here, far from here)
If I weren't who I am
Without the weight on my back
Tell me, what would become of me? (tell me, tell me!)
If I lived far from this street sphere
If I were, if I were (if I were!)

Far from this cage, far from this sphere
Nach, Ángela Cervantes
If I were
