Se io fossi un uomo [English translation]

If I were a man

I wouldn't forgive myself

those easy caresses

that hurt, you know

I would never confuse my soul

Oh, if

If I were a man

I would not defend myself

with such attentive gazes

to never describe oneself

I would not hide my fragility

nor to be alone

If I were a man

I would talk to me like you don't do

I would look at me like you don't do

I would hug myself like you do, more, more, more

If I were a man

I would not fall asleep

Letting silences talk to us about us

But I'd fill with shivers this infinite

void

If I were a man

I would take myself where you don't fly anymore

I would find fallen stars

I would hug myself like you do, more, more

More

I would talk to me like you don't do

I would look at me like you don't do

I would hug myself like you do, more, more

More

If I were a man

I would not go through deserts of habits

to never understand

This love

I would defend it, you know

Oh, se fossi un uomo
