Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rabo De Nube by Silvio Rodriguez from Spanish to English.
Si me dijeran pide un deseo
If they told me to make a wish
Preferiría un rabo de nube
I'd prefer a funnel cloud
Un torbellino en el suelo
A whirlwind on the ground
Y una gran ira que sube
And a great wrath that rises
Un barredor de tristezas
A sweeper of sorrows
Un aguacero en venganza
A vengeful downpour
Que cuando escampe parezca
That when the storm clears
Nuestra esperanza
Our hope appears
Si me dijeran pide un deseo
If they told me to make a wish
Preferiría un rabo de nube
I'd prefer a funnel cloud
Que se llevara lo feo
May it take away what's ugly
Y nos dejara el querube
And leave us the cherub
Un barredor de tristezas
A sweeper of sorrows
Un aguacero en venganza
A vengeful downpour
Que cuando escampe parezca
That when the storm clears
Nuestra esperanza
Our hope appears
