These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se io fossi un angelo
If I were an angel
Chissà cosa farei
Who knows what I would do
Alto, biondo, invisibile
Tall, blond, invisible
Che bello che sarei
How beautiful I would be
E che coraggio avrei
And what courage I would have
Sfruttandomi al massimo
Making the most of myself
È chiaro che volerei
It's clear that I would fly
Zingaro, libero
Gypsy, free
Tutto il mondo girerei
I would go around the whole world
Andrei in Afghanistan
I would go to Afghanistan
E più giù in Sud Africa
And further down in South Africa
A parlare con l'America
Talking to America
E se non mi abbattono
And if they don't put me down
Anche coi russi parlerei
I would also talk to the Russians
Angelo
Angel
Se io fossi un angelo
If I were an angel
Con lo sguardo biblico li fisserei
With a biblical gaze I would fix them
Vi do' due ore, due ore al massimo
I'll give you two hours, two hours tops
Poi sulla testa vi piscerei
Then I would piss on your head
Sui vostri traffici
On your trades
Sui vostri dollari
On your dollars
Sulle vostre belle fabbriche
On your beautiful factories
Di missili
Of missiles
Se io fossi un angelo
If I were an angel
Non starei mai nelle processioni
I would never be in processions
Nelle scatole dei presepi
In nativity boxes
Starei seduto fumando una Marlboro
I'd be sitting there smoking a Marlboro
Al dolce fresco delle siepi
To the sweet freshness of the hedges
Sarei un buon angelo
I would be a good angel
Parlerei con Dio
I would talk to God
Gli ubbidirei amandolo a modo mio
I would obey him by loving him in my own way
A modo mio
My way
Gli parlerei a modo mio
I would talk to him in my own way
E gli direi
And I would tell him
I potenti, che mascalzoni
The powerful, what scoundrels
E tu cosa fai, li perdoni
And what do you do, you forgive them
Ma allora sbagli anche tu
But then you're wrong too
Ma poi non parlerei più
But then I wouldn't talk anymore
Un angelo
An angel
Non sarei più un angelo
I wouldn't be an angel anymore
Se con un calcio mi buttano giù
If they kick me down
Al massimo sarei un diavolo
At most I would be a devil
E francamente questo non mi va
And frankly I don't like this
Ma poi l'inferno cos'è?
But then what is hell?
A parte il caldo che fà
Apart from the heat it is
Non è poi diverso da qui
It's no different than here
Perché io sento che
Because I feel that
Son sicuro che
I'm sure that
Io so che gli angeli
I know the angels
Sono milioni di milioni
There are millions of millions
E non li vedi nei cieli
And you don't see them in the skies
Ma tra gli uomini
But among men
Sono i più poveri e i più soli
They are the poorest and the loneliest
Quelli presi tra le reti
Those caught in the nets
E se tra gli uomini nascesse ancora Dio
What if God were still born among men
Gli ubbidirei amandolo a modo mio
I would obey him by loving him in my own way
A modo mio
My way
A modo mio
My way
