Paroles et traduction Alessio Bondì - Si fussi fimmina

Si fussi fimmina

Si fussi fimmina
Si fussi un re
O un'avutru
Io un m'ù scurdassi cchiù

Cu quali cuore t'é
Taliari
Cu quali occhi t'é
Maniari
Cu quali manu t'é
Manciari
Cu quali vucca t'é
Abbrazzari
Cu quali vrazza m'é
Apprisintari
Cu quali arma t'é
Parrari

Ma sugnu sempre chiddu
Ca si cunfunni priestu
Chiddu chieccu di rispiettu
Assuppatu i nuoliti
Chiddu chi unn'avi risiettu
E chi chianci rintra u spiecchiu
Chiddu chi si scassa tutto
E si lassa in tririci
Cu quali ossa t'é
Scutari
Cu quali aricchi t'é
Liccari
Cu quali lingua t'é
Tagghiari
Cu quali ugna t'é sunari
N'e i nuttati insemmula
Chi m'e ammi m'ienzu i tue
Un sacciu cchiú quali su
M'allura rimmillu tu
Cu quali amme mi n'é gghiri

Si fussi oniesto
E si u cielu fussi cchiú lieggiu
Vulassimu

Were I a Woman

Were I a woman
Were I a king
Or an eagle
I would never forget you

With what heart should I
Look at you
With what eyes should I
Feast on you
With what hands should I
Touch you
With what mouth should I
Embrace you
With what arms should I
Hold you
With what soul should I
Speak to you

But I'm always the one
Who gets confused quickly
The one lacking in respect
Drowned in the clouds
The one who lacks respect
And who weeps in the mirror
The one who breaks everything
And leaves himself in misery
With what bones should I
Shake you
With what ear should I
Taste you
With what tongue should I
Cut you
With what nails should I play you
In the nights together
That I find myself
In the middle of you
I don't know who I am anymore
Tell me again

Were I honest
And if the sky were lighter
We would fly
