It Would Be Fantastic

Joan Manuel Serrat

Sería Fantástico

Sería fantástico que andara equivocado
Y que el water no estuviera ocupado
Que hiciera un buen día y que no nos engañaran en el peso
Que San Pedro, pagándole, no cantara

Sería fantástico que nada fuera urgente
No pasar nunca de largo y servir para algo
Ir por la vida sin cumplidos llamando a las cosas por su nombre
Cobrar en especies y sentirse bien tratado
Y mearse de risa y dejar volar la fantasía

Sería todo un detalle, todo un síntoma de urbanidad
Que no perdiesen siempre los mismos
Y que heredasen los desheredados
Sería fantástico que ganara el mejor
Y que la fuerza no fuera la razón

Que se instalara en el barrio el paraíso terrenal
Que la ciencia fuera neutral
Sería fantástico no pasar por el embudo
Que todo fuera como está mandado y nadie mandara
Que llegara el día del sentido común
Encontrarse como en casa en todas partes
Poder ir distraído sin correr peligro

Sería fantástico que todos fuéramos hijos de Dios
Sería un buen detalle y todo un gesto, por tu parte
Que coincidiéramos, te dejaras convencer
Y fueras tal como yo te he imaginado

It Would Be Fantastic

It would be fantastic if I were wrong
And the toilet wasn't occupied
If it were a nice day and they didn't cheat us on the weight
If Saint Peter, paying him, didn't sing

It would be fantastic if nothing was urgent
To never pass by without stopping and to serve a purpose
To go through life without compliments, calling things by their name
To be paid in kind and feel well treated
And to laugh out loud and let fantasy fly

It would be a nice touch, a sign of civility
That the same ones didn't always lose
And that the disinherited inherited
It would be fantastic if the best won
And strength wasn't the reason

That earthly paradise settled in the neighborhood
That science was neutral
It would be fantastic not to go through the funnel
That everything was as it should be and no one commanded
That the day of common sense arrived
To feel at home everywhere
To be able to be distracted without danger

It would be fantastic if we were all children of God
It would be a nice touch and quite a gesture, on your part
If we coincided, you let yourself be convinced
And you were just as I imagined you
