Si
If
If I were the Good Lord's friend,
If I knew any prayers,
If I had blue blood,
The ability to erase and do everything over again,
If I were queen or a magician,
A princess, a fairy, a great captain
of a noble regiment,
If I had the footstep of a giant,
I would put into the sky in misery
All the tears in the river
And flowers would grow were hope itself flew by,*
I would sow the seeds of utopias, to bend would be forbidden,
We wouldn't turn away our gaze again.
If I had thousands and hundreds,
Talent, strength, or the charms
Of the masters, the powerful;
If I had the keys to their souls
If I knew how to take up arms
In the fire of an army of titans,
I would light up the flames
In the extinguished dreams of children
I would make colors out of punishments
I would create an Eden
With no luck, no stars, with less than nothing.
But I have nothing but a heart in rags
And two hands stretched out on twigs
A voice which the wind chases away in the morning;
But if our bare hands gather
Our millions of hearts together
If our voices unite,
What winters could withstand it?
A strong world, a sister spirit land
We will build in these ashes
Little by little, bit by bit,
Drop by drop, and heart by heart,
Little by little, bit by bit,
Drop by drop, and heart by heart.

my bad it was meant for the first translation - and anyway this one is better than mine I just re-rated it and regret my comment. I would not mind at all if you rate my translation with 1 or 0 if it is wrong - which it was - I actually corrected it using this version. thanks for your reply anyway.
Thank you, the site is more about translating songs and less about rating translations. You can also help other users by pointing out any mistakes you see in their translations, this way we help each other
