These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Siempre hay quien quisiera ser distinto
There is always someone who wants to be different
Nadie está conforme con lo que le tocó
No one is satisfied with what they got
El de edad quisiera ser un niño
The old would like to be a child
Y el rapaz se raspa sus pelusas en flor
And the boy scratches his fluff in bloom
Los que tienen nada quieren algo
Those who have nothing want something
Los que tienen algo quieren todavía más
Those who have something want even more
Para pretender el mundo es largo
To pretend the world is long
Para conformarse se a inventado el jamás
To conform, the never has been invented
Un señor quisiera ser mujer
A man would like to be a woman
Y una chica quiere ser señor
And a girl wants to be mister
Hasta dios sueña que es un poder
Even God dreams that he is a power
Y mariana quiere ser canción
And Mariana wants to be a song
La tolerancia es la pasión de los inquisidores
Tolerance is the passion of inquisitors
El buen ladrón quisiera no tener que robar
The good thief would like not to have to steal
Le deben al silencio la voz los ruiseñores
Nightingales owe their voice to silence
La eternidad no es más que un truco
Eternity is nothing but a trick
Para continuar
To continue
La libertad sólo es visible para quien la labra
Freedom is only visible to those who carve it
Y en lo prohibido brilla astuta la tentación
And in the forbidden shines cunning temptation
Nacer a veces mata y ser feliz desgarra
Being born sometimes kills and being happy tears
¿a quién acusaremos cuando triunfe el amor?
Who shall we accuse when love triumphs?
Un señor quisiera ser mujer
A man would like to be a woman
Y una chica quiere ser señor
And a girl wants to be mister
Hasta dios sueña que es un poder
Even God dreams that he is a power
Y mariana quiere ser canción
And Mariana wants to be a song
