Pudiera Ser Que Pudiera - Alberto Cortez

Pudiera ser que supiera

Cómo decirle a la gente

Con una pocas palabras

Lo que pasa por mi mente

Pudiera ser que supiera

Cómo decirle que el vino

Es bueno para beber

Y no para hacer camino

Pudiera ser que pudiera

Cómo saber que una estrella

Sólo se alcanza volando

Y no con una escalera

Pudiera ser que pudiera

Si yo tuviera talento

Y el lirismo necesario

Para decir lo que siento

Pudiera ser que pudiera

Ser demagogo de oficio

Y reclamar por el pueblo

En mi propio beneficio

Pudiera ser que pudiera

Trocar el aire por humo

Para que cobre su renta

La sociedad de consumo

Pudiera ser que pudiera

Ser juez y usar la justicia

Para imponer mis ideas

Sin que nadie se resista

Pudiera ser que pudiera

Sería cuestión de intentarlo

Pero me duele en el alma

Cuando me pongo a pensarlo

Pudiera ser que supiera

Cómo templar la guitarra

Para que valgan la pena

Mis cantares de cigarra

Pudiera ser que supiera

Cómo mezclar la baraja

Para que nadie de todos

Pueda jugar con ventaja

Pudiera ser que pudiera

Reconocerme a mi mismo

Sin recurrir a un espejo

Ni caer en fanatismos

Pudiera ser que pudiera

Si yo tuviera talento

Y también lo que hace falta

Para decir lo que siento

Could it be that I knew

How to tell people

with a few words

What goes through my mind

Could it be that I knew

How to tell him that the wine

It's good to drink

And not to make way

It could be that I could

How to know that a star

can only be reached by flying

And not with a ladder

It could be that I could

if i had talent

And the necessary lyricism

to say what i feel

It could be that I could

Being a demagogue by trade

And claim for the people

for my own benefit

It could be that I could

Trade the air for smoke

For you to collect your rent

Consumer society

It could be that I could

Being a judge and using justice

to impose my ideas

Without anyone resisting

It could be that I could

It would be a matter of trying

But it hurts in my soul

when i think about it

Could it be that I knew

How to tune the guitar

To make them worth it

My cicada songs

Could it be that I knew

How to shuffle the deck

So that no one at all

can play with advantage

It could be that I could

recognize myself

Without resorting to a mirror

Nor fall into fanaticism

It could be that I could

if i had talent

And also what is needed

to say what i feel
