Lyrics

Se fossi una bottiglia io vorrei
se io fossi una bottiglia aspetterei
la tua bocca che da me ricevesse il mio non so che
quello che jo contengo lo darei
così il vuoto resterei
e tra i vuoti finirei
E fossi un foglio io vorrei
Se io fossi un fogilo aspetterei
che scrivessi su di me
io vorrei, vorrei, sentire su di me
la tua mano che ti disegnerà
la tua follia, i tuoi sogni, la realtà,
la tua lista della spesa basterà
nel cestino io finirei
E se fossi cosa cosa sarei
e se fossi cosa cosa sarei
E lo so, lo so, che non t’ingannerò
scoprirai di nuovo la mia identità
e io sarò cosa solo per metà
e sarò cosa solo per metà
Se fossi cosa cosa sarei
e se fossi cosa che sarei…
se fossi cosa cosa sarei

Lyrics translation

If I were a bottle I would
if I were a bottle I'd wait
your mouth that from me received my I don't know that
what I Contain I would give
so the void would remain
and between the voids I'd end up
And if I were a piece of paper I would
If I were a leaf I'd wait
that you wrote about me
I wish, wish, feel about me
your hand that will draw you
your madness, your dreams, your reality,
your shopping list will suffice
in the trash I'd end up
And if I were what I would be
and if I were what I would be
And I know, I know, I won't fool you
you'll discover my identity again
and I'll only be half what
and I'll only be half what
If I were what I would be
what if I was what I would be…
if I were what I would be
