If I Were

Si Yo Fuera

If I Were

Si yo fuera un péndulo y tú fueras el pájaro en el reloj cucúIf I were a pendulum swing and you were the bird in the cuckoo clock
Cada vez que cantaras cucú-cucú, yo duplicaría otro tic tacEv'ry time you cucko-cooed I would double tick another tick tock
Duplicaría mi balanceo cada vez que cantaras, haríamos buen tiempo juntosI'd double my swing ev'ry time you'd sing we'd make good time with each other
Oh, pero sería tan divertido arrullar y balancearnos juntosOh, but that would be just so much fun cooin' and swingin' together

Si yo fuera un niñito y tuviera un poco de créditoIf I were a little bitty boy and I had just a little bit o' credit
Pediría un préstamo para un helado y lo conseguiría enseguidaI would make a loan for an ice cream cone and I'd go right away and get it
Tú lamerías un poco y yo lamería un poco, podríamos lamer juntosYou would lick a little and I would lick a little, we surely could lick with each other
Oh, pero sería tan divertido, comiéndolo todo juntosOh, but that would be just so much fun, eating it all together

Y si yo fuera una abeja y tú una mariposaAnd if I were a little honey bee and you were a little butterfly
Estaría esperando en la puerta del jardín hasta que pasaras revoloteandoI would be waiting at the garden gate until you came fluttering by
Quizás te detendrías en una rosa roja y podríamos hablarMaybe you'd stop on a red rose top and then we could talk to each other
Oh, pero podríamos revolotear tanto, divirtiéndonos en el jardín juntosOh, but we cou'd flutter up so much fun being in the garden together

Pero solo soy un chico común y me encantan todas las cosas que hacesBut I'm just an ordinary guy and I love all the things you do
Pareces una chica talentosa y hermosa y me da miedo siquiera hablarteYou seem such a talented, beautiful girl and I'm afraid to even talk to you
Si fuera tan audaz como algunos chicos, escuchándolos hablar entre ellosIf I were as bold like some guys, hearin' them talk to each other
Me acercaría y te preguntaría si podríamos salir juntosI'd come over and ask you if we could go out together

Pero si fueras un Mercedes-Benz, tendría que ser un Fleetwood BroughamBut if you were a Mercedes-Benz, I'd have to be a Fleetwood Brougham
Y cada vez que te viera rodar por la autopista, tendría que seguirte a casaAnd ev'ry time I saw you rollin' on the freeway I think I'd have to follow you home
Podrías dejarme alojar en tu garaje doble, parachoques con parachoques, protegidos del climaYou could let me lodge in your double garage, bumper to bumper out of the weather
Nadie en casa excepto el Benz y el Brougham, listos para rodar juntosNobody home but the Benz and the Brougham, really rarin' to roll off together
