| Prefer playing in particular keys

| To understand the depths of my dilemma
| Para entender las profundidades de mi dilema
|
| The two elements of me
| Los dos elementos de mi
|
| Favor two different keys

|
| Thus the rift betwixt my fingers and my tenor

|
| I like nothing more than playing instruments in F
| Nada me gusta más que tocar instrumentos en fa
|
| It warms the very cockles of my heart

|
| The trouble is that F
| El problema es que F
|
| Can leave me vocally bereft

|
| You see, I like playing in F major
| Verás, me gusta tocar en fa mayor
|
| But I like singing in F sharp

| F shaaarp
|
| I refuse to be beholden to my hands

|
| And so I just keep playing in F major
| Y así sigo tocando en fa mayor
|
| And singing in F sharp
| Y cantando en fa sostenido
|
| F shaaarp
| F shaaarp
|
| F shaaarp
| F shaaarp
|
| F shaaarp
| F shaaarp
|
| F shaaarp
| F shaaarp
|
| I’ll keep playing in F major
| Seguiré tocando en fa mayor
|
| But I’ll keep singing in F sharp | Pero seguiré cantando en fa sostenido |
