Paroles et traduction EL Sobrino del Diablo - Como Juan Tamariz

Como Juan Tamariz

28 de febrero de 2005
Nieva en Barcelona y eso no es habitual
Asi que es buen dia para que el sobrino
Se empiece a confesar.

Si fuera un pintor no estaría de moda,
Si fuera un ciclista no sería Indurain,
Si fuera psicólogo o asesor financiero
La consulta tendría que cerrar.

Si fuera un mago no seria el Coperfield
Por mucha top model o pseudoactriz
Que se ligue prefiero ser feo, simpatico
Y sabio como Juan Tamariz.

Si fuera irlandés te juro por la Guiness
Que nunca me atrajo ser JFK,
Pudiendo escoger entre Jean y McGowan,
Finline o Rory o Van.

Pero resulta que soy quien soy y eso no hay quien lo cambie,
No escoges cuándo naces ni donde ni como, ni tu ni nadie
Si soy sobrino de quien soy que le vamos a hacer
Podria ser mucho peor, de eso amigo os doy fe.

Si fuera un actor no seria el Banderas
Si fuera una actriz no seria la Cruz,
No me dejaria embaucar por el brillo
Vacio de Hollywood

Iría a los Oscars vestido de obrero,
Me pasaria por el forro el tema del glamour,
Seria un comico de la legua,
Iría por los pueblos de bululu.

Si fuera rey Abdicaria
Si fuera soldado sería desertor,
Si fuera poeta no sería culterano,
Si fuera guapo no seria cantautor
Si fuera mujer no las entendería
Porque a mi mismo me entiendo fatal,
Si fuera papa me excomulgarian,
Si fuera publicista no lo sería de pascual.

Pero resulta que soy quien soy y eso no hay quien lo cambie,
No escoges cuándo naces ni donde ni como, ni tu ni nadie
Si soy sobrino de quien soy que le vamos a hacer
Podria ser mucho peor, de eso amigo os doy fe.

Like Juan Tamariz

It's snowing in Barcelona and that's not usual
So it's a good day for the nephew
To start confessing.

If I were a painter, I wouldn't be fashionable,
If I were a cyclist, I wouldn't be Indurain,
If I were a psychologist or a financial advisor
I'd have to close my practice.

If I were a magician, I wouldn't be Copperfield
No matter how many top models or pseudo-actresses
He hooks up with, I'd rather be ugly, funny
And wise like Juan Tamariz.

If I were Irish, I swear by Guinness
I've never wanted to be JFK,
Being able to choose between Jean and McGowan,
Finline or Rory or Van.

But it turns out I am who I am and there's no changing that,
You don't choose when you're born or where or how, neither you nor anyone
If I'm the nephew of who I am, there's nothing we can do about it.
It could be much worse, I can assure you of that.

If I were an actor, I wouldn't be Banderas
If I were an actress, I wouldn't be Cruz,
I wouldn't let myself be fooled by the shine
Void of Hollywood

I'd go to the Oscars dressed as a worker,
I'd pooh-pooh the whole glamour thing,
I'd be a traveling comedian.
I'd go around the villages bringing chuckles.

If I were king, I would abdicate
If I were a soldier, I would be a deserter,
If I were a poet, I wouldn't be a highbrow,
If I were handsome, I wouldn't be a singer-songwriter
If I were a woman, I wouldn't understand them
Because I don't even understand myself,
If I were the pope, I would be excommunicated,
If I were a publicist, I wouldn't work for Pascual.

But it turns out I am who I am and there's no changing that,
You don't choose when you're born or where or how, neither you nor anyone
If I'm the nephew of who I am, there's nothing we can do about it.
It could be much worse, I can assure you of that.

THE END
