Lyrics
S’i fosse fuoco, arderei 'l mondo;
S’i fosse vento, lo tempestarei;
S’i fosse acqua, i' l’annegherei;
S’i fosse Dio, mandereil' en profondo;
S’i fosse papa, allor serei giocondo
Ché tutti cristiani imbrigarei;
S’i fosse 'mperator, ben lo farei;
A tutti tagliarei lo capo a tondo
S’i fosse morte, andarei a mi' padre;
S’i fosse vita, non starei con lui;
Similemente faria da mi' madre
Si fosse Cecco com’i' sono e fui
Torrei le donne giovani e leggiadre:
Le zoppe e vecchie lasserei altrui
Lyrics translation
If it were fire, I would burn the world;
If it were wind, I'd storm it;
If it were water, I'd drown it.;
If I were God, mandereil ' en profundo;
If I were pope, then I'd be giocondo
For all Christians, I will be imbrigarei;
If I were mperator, I would.;
I'd cut everyone's head in circles.
If I were dead, I'd go to my father.;
If I were alive, I wouldn't be with him.;
Similarly, I would be my mother.
If you were Cecco as ' I ' and I was
Torrei young and fairytale women:
The lame and old lasserei others
