El Aeroplano

Whoever had an airplane
Whoever had an airplane
To fly and arrive
Where the one I love is
Where the one I love is
To take her for a walk.

I wish I were a rich man
I wish I were a rich man
To spend my money
On buying many things
On buying many things
For the young woman I love.

I wish I were a merchant
I wish I were a merchant
And be well established
To earn a hundred grams
To earn a hundred grams
Of what is earned in a kilo.

I wish I were a general
I wish I were a general
To always be well dressed
So that no one looks down on me
So that no one looks down on me
For being more conceited.

But it's just what I ask for
But it's just what I ask for
That I can't achieve
And while I sing something else
And while I sing something else
Here I go to chop.
