The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Se Io Fossi" by Riccardo Cocciante.
Lyrics
Se io fossi il fuoco
tutto il mondo brucerei
Se io fossi il vento
lo cancellerei
Se io fossi l’acqua
tutto quanto coprirei
nascondendo tutto dell’umanit
Se io fossi un fiore
non vorrei nascere mai
Se io fossi il sole
non riscalderei
Se io fossi neve
tutto quanto coprirei
nascondendo tutto dell’umanit
Basta un seme e un po' di terra
e tra i sassi nasce un fiore
basterebbe cos¬ poco
basterebbe cos¬ poco
Se io fossi il cielo
sempre nero resterei
Se io fossi stella
non risplenderei
Sono solo un uomo
soltanto un uomo
ma se fossi in Lui
ricomincerei
se io fossi Lui ricomincerei
Lyrics translation
If I were the fire
all the world burn
If I were the wind
I'd delete it.
If I were water
everything I would cover
hiding all of humanity
If I were a flower
I would never be born
If I were the sun
I wouldn't heat up
If I were snow
everything I would cover
hiding all of humanity
Just one seed and a little soil
and among the Stones is born a flower
it would take so little
it would take so little
If I were heaven
always black I'd stay
If I were stella
I wouldn't shine
I'm just a man
only one man
but if I were him
start again
if I were him, I'd start again.
