Letra:

Si pudiera olvidar todo aquello que fui


si pudiera borrar todo lo que yo vi


no dudaria, no dudaria volver a reir


si pudiera explicar las vidas que quite


si pudiera quemar las armas que use


no dudaria, no dudaria en volver a reir


prometo ver la alegria


y escarmentar de la experiencia


pero nunca,nunca mas usar la violencia


si pudiera sembrar los campos que arrase


si pudiera devolver la paz que quite


no dudaria, no dudaria volver a reir


si pudiera olvidar aquel llanto que oi


si pudiera borrar,apartarlo de mi


no dudaria, no dudaria en volver a reir


prometo ver a la alegria


y escarmentar de la experiencia


pero nunca, nunca mas usar la violencia (x2)

para xuru ruxuru para xuru xuru ruruuu (x2)


si pudiera olvidar todo aquello que fui


si pudiera borrar todo lo que yo vi


no dudaria, no dudaria en volver a reir


prometo ver la alegria....

Si pudiera olvidar todo aquello que fui
If I could forget everything that I was


si pudiera borrar todo lo que yo vi
if I could erase everything that I saw


no dudaria, no dudaria volver a reir
I would no doubt, I would no doubt laugh again


si pudiera explicar las vidas que quite
if I could justify the lives that I took


si pudiera quemar las armas que use
if I could burn the weaponry that I used


no dudaria, no dudaria en volver a reir
I would no doubt, I would no doubt laugh again


prometo ver la alegria
I promise to see joy


y escarmentar de la experiencia
and to learn from my experience


pero nunca,nunca mas usar la violencia
but to never ever use violence again


si pudiera sembrar los campos que arrase
if I could sow the fields that I destroyed


si pudiera devolver la paz que quite
if I could return the peace that I robbed


no dudaria, no dudaria volver a reir
I would no doubt, I would no doubt laugh again


si pudiera olvidar aquel llanto que oi
if I could forget that crying that I heard


si pudiera borrar,apartarlo de mi
if I could erase, move it away from me


no dudaria, no dudaria en volver a reir
I would no doubt, I would no doubt laugh again


prometo ver a la alegria
I promise to see joy


y escarmentar de la experiencia
to learn from my experience


pero nunca, nunca mas usar la violencia (x2)
but to never ever use violence again

para xuru ruxuru para xuru xuru ruruuu (x2)


si pudiera olvidar todo aquello que fui
if I could forget everything that I was


si pudiera borrar todo lo que yo vi
if I could erase everything that I saw


no dudaria, no dudaria en volver a reir
I would no doubt, I would no doubt laugh again


prometo ver la alegria....
I promise to see joy....

Thank you once again bedroomeyes for such a fluent translation.

Thank you DanielX for the kind words.

I love this song and wrote the following translation a while ago. It isn't quite a word-for-word translation but it fits the tune and I don't think it's too far what Antonio Flores wanted to say: I hope you like it.

If I could forget
Everywhere that I’ve been
If I could erase
Everything that I’ve seen
There’s no doubt, no doubt I could laugh again

If I could justify
All the lives that were lost
If I could destroy
All the arms that were used
There’s no doubt, no doubt I could laugh again

I would promise to see the light
And to learn from my experience
And I’d never, never ever use violence again

If I could sow seeds
In the fields I made bare
If I could restore
The peace that was there
There’s no doubt, no doubt I could laugh again

If I could forget
The sound of people crying
If I could free my mind
From the sight of people dying
There’s no doubt, no doubt I could laugh again

I would promise to see the light
And to learn from my experience
And I’d never, never ever use violence again

A very moving and poetic translation, Alcalaina. Thanks.
