Can you guess the meaning of this expression? Is there any similar expression in your language? How can you express this in Spanish?
IF I WERE A BOY
If I were a boy, even just for a day
I'd roll outta bed in the mornin'
And throw on what I wanted, then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they'd stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waitin' for me to come home, to come home
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted (wanted)
'Cause he's taken you for granted (granted)
And everything you had got destroyed
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you're just a boy
You don't understand
Yeah, you don't understand, oh
How it feels to love a girl, someday
You'll wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you're just a boy
IF I WERE A GIRL
If I were a girl, even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
Put up all my makeup and go
Go shop with the girls
And get my nails done
I would flirt with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
Because they'd cover for me
If I were a girl
I think I could understand
What it mean to love a man
I swear I'd do the best I can
I'd listen to him
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause she's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a girl
I would turn off my phone
I would lie and say it's broken
So he wouldn't know that I'm unfaithful.
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know he'll always be there
Faithfully, waiting at home (waiting at home)
If I were a girl
I think I could understand
what it means to love a man
I swear I'd do the best I can
I'd listen to him
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted (wanted)
'Cause he's taken you for granted (granted)
And everything you had got destroyed
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you're just a girl
You don't understand
Yeah, you don't understand,
what it means to love a man someday
you appreciate a man.
You don't listen to him
You don't care how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you've taken him for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you're just a girl.
