Se potessi amore mio [English translation]

If I could, my love,

I would give you everything I see—

but I can only give you what I have—

and unfortunately that is not a lot.

If you would be my love,

I would like to be a great man—

to be able to love you like a queen—

but unfortunately things are what they are.

If you would be my love—

in order not to waste this, your life,

I should leave and tell you goodbye—

but unfortunately I am not that nice.
