English Lyrics
33. Si yo fuera un chico,
sólo por una vez
Yo me vestería como quiero,
con lo que vea primero y me voy
Saldría a buscar,
chicas por montón
Mis amigos que son leales
siempre van a acompañarme hasta el fin,
cada noche a mentir
Si yo fuera un chico,
sé que podría saber
comprender mucho mejor,
lo que es amar a una mujer.
Sabría escuchar,
pues conozco el dolor,
de perder a quien se quiere
porque ignoras lo que tienes
y quedas sin saber que pasó.
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy…
Si fuera un chico…
