If I Were Fire (S`i` Fosse Foco) — текст песни (Desdemona)

[music: C. Rosso-F. Torchia/lyrics: A. Marchisio]
[adapted from the XIIIth century Italian sonnet "S`i` fosse foco" by Cecco Angiolieri]

If I were fire, I`d burn the world;
If I were wind, I`d pester it;
If I were water, I`d sink it;
If I were God, I`d plunge it;

If I were the Pope, I`d be gay,
`cause I`d torment all the Christians;
if I were emperor, I`d be good:
`cause everybody`s heads I would cut down.

If I were fire, If I were fire
If I were fire, If I were fire

If I were death, I`d go to my father;
If I were life, I`d flee him:
I`d do the same with my mother.

If I were myself, as I am and was,
I`d take the young and beautiful gals:
The crippled and old I`d leave to others.

If I were fire, If I were fire
If I were fire, If I were fire
