Lyrics and translation Revólver - Si no hubiera que correr

Si no hubiera que correr

Si el camino fuera suave y si el cielo más azul
Miraría al horizonte siempre como miras tú.
Si pudiera ir más despacio sin tropiezos ni traspiés.
Si el camino fuera suave si no hubiera que correr.
Pero es duro es salvaje y no tiene compasión
Te disparan por la espalda aquí no existe honor.
He visto caer a gente sin poder mover un pie.
También vi como los fuertes no apostaban por su piel.
Y aunque fuera necesario no quisiera echar la hiel.
Si el camino fuera suave, si no hubiera que correr.
Ya estoy en ninguna parte ya no puedo regresar,
Son ya muchos 30 años para poner marcha atrás.
He gastado en esta historia mi energía y mi ilusión
Masticando con firmeza que quizá lo que importa
No es jugar sino ganar.
Y aunque fuera necesario no quisiera echar la hiel.
Si el camino fuera suave, si no hubiera que correr.
El aliento del destino quizá sople sobre mí.
Rogaré a Dios que me indique que sendero he de seguir.
Porque seguiré adelante aunque tenga que volar
Quizá venda hasta mi alma sólo por poder llegar.
Y aunque fuera necesario no quisiera echar la hiel.
Si el camino fuera suave, si no hubiera que correr.

If I Didn't Have to Run

If the path were smooth and the sky a brighter blue
I would gaze at the horizon forever, just like you do.
If I could take my time, without any stumbles or falls.
If the path were smooth, if I didn't have to run at all.
But it's tough, it's wild, and it has no mercy.
They shoot you in the back, there's no honor here.
I've seen people fall, unable to move a foot.
I've also seen the strong not gamble with their skin.
And even if it were necessary, I wouldn't want to give in.
If the path were smooth, if I didn't have to run.
I am already nowhere, I can't turn back.
Thirty years is too long to go in reverse.
I've spent my energy and my dreams on this story,
Chewing firmly, knowing that perhaps what matters
Is not playing, but winning.
And even if it were necessary, I wouldn't want to give in.
If the path were smooth, if I didn't have to run.
The breath of destiny may blow upon me.
I will pray to God to show me which path to follow.
Because I will keep going, even if I have to fly.
Perhaps I'll even sell my soul just to reach my goal.
And even if it were necessary, I wouldn't want to give in.
If the path were smooth, if I didn't have to run.
