If I Were Fire Lyrics
adapted from the XIIIth century Italian sonnet "S'i' fosse foco" by Cecco AngiolieriIf 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 fireIf I were fire, If I were fireIf 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 fireIf I were fire, If I were fire
