Manu Chao - Si me das a elegir
The song is originally by Los Chunguitos, titled "Me Quedo Contigo".
Manu Chao (born José-Manuel Thomas Arthur Chao; June 21, 1961) is a Spanish/French singer who sings in French, Spanish, English, Italian, Galician, Arabic, and Portuguese and occasionally in other languages.
Chao began his musical career in Paris, busking and playing with groups such as Hot Pants and Los Carayos, which combined a variety of languages and musical styles. With friends and his brother Antoine Chao, he founded the band Mano Negra in 1987, achieving considerable success, particularly in Europe.
He became a solo artist after its breakup in 1995, and since then tours regularly with his live band, Radio Bemba.
Chao was born to Spanish parents. His mother, Felisa Ortega, is from Bilbao, Basque country, and his father, writer and journalist Ramón Chao, is from Vilalba, Galicia.
They emigrated to Paris to avoid Francisco Franco's dictatorship—Manu's grandfather had been sentenced to death.
Shortly after Manu's birth, the Chao family moved to the outskirts of Paris, and Manu spent most of his childhood in Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres. As he grew up he was surrounded by many artists and intellectuals, most of whom were acquaintances of his father. Chao cites much of his childhood experience as inspiration for some songs.
The lyrics:
Si me das a elegir
Entre tÚ y mis ideas
Que yo sin ellas
Soy un hombre perdido
Si me das a elegir
Entre tú y la gloria
Pa que hable la historia de mi
Por los siglos
Si me das a elegir
Entre tú y ese cielo
Donde libre es el vuelo
Para llegar a otros nidos
Si me das a elegir
Me quedo contigo
Pues me enamorado
Y te quiero y te quiero
Y solo deseo
Estar a tu lado
Soñar con tus ojos
Besarte los labios
Si me das a elegir
Entre tÚ y mis ideas
Que yo sin ellas
Soy un hombre perdido
Si me das a elegir
Me quedo contigo
Pues me enamorado
Y te quiero y te quiero
Y solo deseo
Estar a tu lado
Soñar con tus ojos
Besarte los labios
Si me das a elegir
Entre tú y la gloria
Pa que hable la historia de mi
Por los siglos
Si me das a elegir
Me quedo contigo
Si me das a elegir
Entre tÚ y mis ideas
Que yo sin ellas
Soy un hombre perdido
Si me das a elegir
Me quedo contigo
Pues me enamorado
Y te quiero y te quiero
Y solo deseo
Estar a tu lado
Soñar con tus ojos
Besarte los labios
Si me das a elegir
Entre tú y la gloria
Pa que hable la historia de mi
Por los siglos
Si me das a elegir
Me quedo contigo
Pues me enamorado
Y te quiero y te quiero
Y solo deseo
Estar a tu lado
Soñar con tus ojos
Besarte los labios
Sentirme en tus brazos
Que soy muy feliz
Si me das a elegir
Entre tÚ y mis ideas
Que yo sin ellas
Soy un hombre perdido
Si me das a elegir
Entre tú y ese cielo
Donde libre es el vuelo
Para llegar a otros nidos
