Si yo fuera ellas [English translation]

They told me so many things

So many things I believed

That life was another thing

That I wasn't an unhappy

I'm just a woman

If I knew... If I could...

If I were a maiden

the Tudor princess

I'd take my lovers for a walk

by the Watteau parks

And if I were a queen

Napoleon's wife

I'd make the war with him

but just for love

If I were Anne Boleyn

if I had her bravery

I wouldn't have this sadness

of being a nobody under the sun

If I were like them

I'd see myself how I am

Neither sadder nor prettier

than the grace or the goodbye

Without being ashamed of the past

because yesterday is also today

If I were like them

my song would be different

If I could be myself

and look at myself the way I am

And meeting again with my life

And to know where I'm going

Not letting the past stop me

Neither the false compassion

Nor advices, nor prudence

nor envy, nor pain

And letting be whatever

The best or the worst

To not ask, to not be able

to be another, just myself.

If I were like them

I'd see myself how I am

Neither sadder nor prettier

than the grace or the goodbye

If living were easier

If I reached my illusion

If I were like them

my song would be different

If I could devote myself

immeasurably to a passion

like who burns ships

like who talks with God

If my life were another

I would only be myself then

Here inside there's another Eva

and it's better than what I am

If I could, if I dare

to be what I dream

I won't have this pain

of being just what I am

I'll shine like a star

I'll be someone under the sun

Someday I will be Eva

and that day I'll be myself
