Renacimiento

If I were born and lived againSi naciera y viviera de nuevo
I would play as a motherf***erJugaría materinerero
With the children of the prostitutesCon los hijos de las prostitutas
With the kids who were never bornCon los niños que nunca nacieron
With the children of the disappearedCon los hijos de los desaparecidos
From the Mothers of Plaza de MayoDe las madres de plaza de mayo
With an African child soldierCon un niño soldado africano
With the children of the beggarsCon los hijos de los pordioseros

If I were born and lived againSi naciera y viviera de nuevo
I would shout a few blasphemiesGritaría unas cuantas blasfemias
I would burn all my suitsQuemaría todas mis mudadas
Of that imported brand clothingDe esa ropa de marca importada
I would paint a few postersPintaría unos cuantos carteles
Of the protesting mobsDe las turbas manifestantes
I would read hundreds of pamphletsLeería cientos de panfletos
From belligerent philosophersDe filósofos beligerantes

If I were born and lived againSi naciera y viviera de nuevo
I would sing in distant placesCantaría en lugares distantes
Where the most heard tuneDonde la mas sonada tonada
Are gunshots, bullets, and tanksSon disparos, metrallas y tanques
Although I fear death littleAunque poco le temo a la muerte
I need some f***ing daysNecesito unos jodidos días
To start feeling alivePara empezar a sentirme vivo
To die believing I'm someonePara morir creyéndome gente

If I were born and dreamed againSi naciera y soñara de nuevo
I would spend a night in MacondoPasaría una noche en Macondo
I would fight with three musketeersPelearía con tres mosqueteros
I would ride on a unicornMontaría en algún unicornio
I would travel with Baltasar BustosViajaría con Baltasar Bustos
I would smoke a good joint with MarleyFumaria un buen porro con Marley
I would buy a direct ticketCompraría un boleto directo
And with no return to Dante's hellY sin regreso al infierno de Dante

I would steal fire from PrometheusRobaría el fuego a Prometeo
I would plagiarize songs from CharlyPlagiaría canciones de Charly
I would steal Fito's CeciliaRobaría la Cecilia de Fito
I would try never to get drunkProcuraría nunca embriagarme
Without Enrique's sad songsSin las tristes canciones de Enrique
I would polish my soul like a diamondPuliría mi alma de diamante
With the strings torn by SilvioCon las cuerdas rasgadas de Silvio
And elegies from other giantsY elegías de otros gigantes

I would steal fire from PrometheusRobaría el fuego a Prometeo
I would plagiarize songs from CharlyPlagiaría canciones de Charly
I would kiss Fito's CeciliaBesaría la Cecilia de Fito
I would try never to get drunkProcuraría nunca embriagarme
Without Enrique's sad songsSin las tristes canciones de Enrique
I would polish my soul like a diamondPuliría mi alma de diamante
With the strings torn by SilvioCon las cuerdas rasgadas de Silvio
And elegies from other giantsY elegías de otros gigantes
