Podría Haber Sido Yo
Amaral
It Could Have Been Me
Never, there are stories that never close
And they reach beyond memory
Much further than the century we live in
And they come back every time someone mentions you
You know well that luck, fate, or chance
Drag us along whimsically
Buenos Aires, Berlin, or Zaragoza
Or Chile, National Stadium
It could have been me if I was born on your beach
For playing this guitar
It could have been me, for singing this song
Today I just want to shout it
Let your voice ring out, Víctor Jara
And now I know that the system
Can't be changed from within
And there are no more answers
In the wind I should understand
But I don't want to
It's time to tell each other the truth
It could have been me, if I was born on your beach
For playing this guitar
It could have been me, for singing this song
Today I just want to shout it
Let your voice ring out, Víctor Jara
Let your voice ring out, Víctor Jara
And let it shatter into a thousand pieces
But let this crystal silence break
And never come back again
It could have been me, if I was born on your beach
For playing this guitar
For singing this song
Today I just want to shout it
Let your voice ring out, Víctor Jara
Let your voice ring out, Víctor Jara
