English Lyrics

32. If I were a boy Si yo fuera un chico,
Even just for a day sólo por una vez
I’d roll outta bed in the morning Yo me vestería como quiero,
And throw on what I wanted then go con lo que vea primero y me voy
Drink beer with the guys Saldría a buscar,
And chase after girls chicas por montón
I’d kick it with who I wanted Mis amigos que son leales
And I’d never get confronted for it. siempre van a acompañarme hasta el fin,
Cause they’d stick up for me. cada noche a mentir
If I were a boy Si yo fuera un chico,
I think I could understand sé que podría saber
How it feels to love a girl comprender mucho mejor,
I swear I’d be a better man. lo que es amar a una mujer.
I’d listen to her Sabría escuchar,
Cause I know how it hurts pues conozco el dolor,
When you lose the one you wanted de perder a quien se quiere
Cause he’s taken you for granted porque ignoras lo que tienes
And everything you had got destroyed y quedas sin saber que pasó.
If I were a boy…
Si fuera un chico…
Beyoncé
