Letras de If - Orleans

If (original)

If you were a rainbow and I was the sun
Getting up too close might make you run
But if you were a sailing ship and I was in your hold
It would feel just like a pot of gold
If you were a fish and I was a hook
We would get acquainted in a bubbling brook
If you were a tree and I was the sky
We would be together until we die
If you were a queen and I was a king
Our throne would be love and the song we sing
If you would let me kiss you and hold you through the night
The ending to this story would be all right
If you were a riddle and I was the reply
We would never have to question why
If you were a shadow and I was a wall
We would come together when nighttime falls

(traducción)

Si tu fueras un arcoiris y yo el sol
Si te acercas demasiado, podrías hacerte correr
Pero si fueras un velero y yo estuviera en tu bodega
Se sentiría como una olla de oro
Si tu fueras un pez y yo un anzuelo
Nos conoceríamos en un arroyo burbujeante
Si tu fueras un arbol y yo el cielo
Estaríamos juntos hasta que muramos
Si tu fueras una reina y yo un rey
Nuestro trono sería el amor y la canción que cantamos
Si me dejaras besarte y abrazarte toda la noche
El final de esta historia estaría bien
Si tu fueras un acertijo y yo la respuesta
Nunca tendríamos que preguntarnos por qué
Si tu fueras una sombra y yo un muro
Nos juntaríamos cuando caiga la noche
