Se Tu Fossi Come Lyrics in English by Biagio Antonacci
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Tu Fossi Come by Biagio Antonacci from Italian to English.
Se tu fossi come
If you were like
La mia batteria potrei picchiarti quando voglio
My drums, I could hit you whenever I want
E non andresti via
And you wouldn't leave
Ti suonerei fino a sera
I'd play you until evening
Poi ti lascerei riposare e con un colpo di gran cassa
Then I'd let you rest and with a kick drum hit
Ti verrei a svegliare
I'd come wake you up
Se tu fossi come
If you were like
Il mio nuovo basso
My new bass
Anche se sei troppo alta
Even if you're too tall
Va bene, va bene lo stesso
It's fine, it's fine anyway
Ti slepperei ti strapperei passerei dal funky al liscio
I'd slap you, I'd pluck you, I'd go from funky to smooth
Con un passaggio in contro tempi
With a syncopated passage
Ti direi quanto ti voglio
I'd tell you how much I want you
Tutto questo non sei
You're not all this
Ma tutto questo non sei
But you're not all this
Se tu fossi come
If you were like
La mia povera tastiera
My poor keyboard
Tutti questi tasti neri e bianchi
All these black and white keys
Quanti posti da toccare
How many places to touch
E con un semplice fa sol ti suonerei canzoni dolci
And with a simple F-G I'd play you sweet songs
Non ti farei stonare
I wouldn't let you go out of tune
Più suono più ti voglio
The more I play, the more I want you
Se fossi la mia piccola chitarra
If you were my little guitar
Se mi fai del male
If you hurt me
Ti posso anche scordare
I can also detune you
Avrei sei corde da suonare
I'd have six strings to play
Un plettro per godere
A pick to enjoy
Elettrica di notte e classica di giorno
Electric at night and classical by day
Ma tutto questo non sei
But you're not all this
Ma tutto questo non sei
But you're not all this
Peccato, peccato
What a shame, what a shame
Ma tutto questo non sei
But you're not all this
Sarebbe bello e senza te non suonerei
It would be beautiful and without you I wouldn't play
Sarebbe bello e senza te non suonerei
It would be beautiful and without you I wouldn't play
Non suonerei
I wouldn't play
