If I was fire
If I was fire, I'd burn the world;
If I was wind, I'd storm it;
If I was water I'd drown it;
If I was God, I'd send it in the deep; (1)
If I was the Pope, then I'd be happy,
'cause I could get all the Christians in trouble;
If I was the emperor, do you know what I'd do?
I'd behead (2) everyone.
If I was Death, I'd go to my father;
If I was Life, I'd run from him:
I'd do the same with my mother.
If I was Cecco (3), as I am and was,
I'd keep the young and graceful women for myself:
The old and ugly I'd leave for others.
