On Being a Woman

Why is it, when I am in Rome,
I'd give an eye to be at home,
But when on native earth I be,
My soul is sick for Italy?
 
And why with you, my love, my lord,
Am I spectacularly bored,
Yet do you up and leave me- then
I scream to have you back again?

С чего бы это - в Риме я
Домой хочу вся не своя?
А дома каждый божий день
Мне бы в Италию - не лень?
 
И хоть тебя , мой друг, люблю,
От скуки долго не терплю.
Но если встанешь ты уйти,
Скажу: останься, не лети.
 
Thanks!
