Si yo fuera varón
Paquita La Del Barrio
If I Were a Man
If ever the Almighty
changed my role and instead of being a woman
I were a man
I would ask that kind being
for plenty of understanding and to use the heart
always in his name; to stop being
so cruel to women and give them their
place to that great being that we all are!!
I would be the friend, the understanding man
the faithful partner who adores his woman
and everything happens, I would understand her and especially in those days
I would make her feel that she's not just another piece of furniture
that is in the house
If I were a man, if I were a man
I would thank my woman
on my knees
Because I ask you all
all these men
if they know what it's like to be pregnant for 9 months
watching over the children
attending to the husband
or the maid without a salary who doesn't even deserve a kiss
sunk in the routine
from the yard to the kitchen
dancing with the broom
the sink and those things
Because the husband arrives, looking like crazy
for the TV remote and doesn't even remember the wife
If I were a man, if I were a man!
I would give wings to women
my total understanding
I am a complete woman, there's no doubt about it,
because GOD gave me the joy of giving birth to a child,
but I want to say that in this world there are men
who are only men because the midwife said so!!!
Because I ask you all
all these men
if they know what it's like to be pregnant for 9 months
watching over the children
attending to the husband
or the maid without a salary who doesn't even deserve a kiss
sunk in the routine
from the yard to the kitchen
dancing with the broom
the sink and those things
but the husband arrives, looking like crazy
for the TV remote and doesn't even remember the wife
If I were a man, if I were a man
I would give wings to women
my total understanding
