Si fussi masculu ti dassi lu celu
piccchì la tò vuci arrivau dda' ncapu
puru si dura ti parsi la strata
cu' pani arti e scarsa munita
Si fussi megghiu cantassi cu ttia
picchì si fimmina comu a mia
stindissi i tò nerbi comu linzola
p'un fari scurdariti ca' parola,
avi la forza di centu guerriera
di centu guerrera e di na' cumannera
ca s'iddu voli ti parra 'nzuccarata
pirchì di zuccaru avi a' taliata
Si fussi tò figghiu ti durmissi 'npettu
picchì vulissi pì primu lu postu
dunni u' silenziu addiventa canzuni
cu pani arti e sempri l'amuri
Si fussi megghiu cantassi cu tia
pirchì si fimmina comu a' mia
p'arricurdarinni ca pi vulari
amu a 'mparari a cusirinni l'ali,
c'hannu la forza di centu mutuar
di centu mutura e na' fimmina sula
chi s'iddu voli fa u' giru ddi munnu
picchì vula avutu comu talia 'nfunnu
Si fussi to patri ti dessi carizia
picchì di cuntentu avissi la forza
pi li pinseri prisenti e futuri
cu pani arti e la rivoluziuni
Si fussi megghiu cantassi cu ttia
picchì si fimmina comu a' mia
pi' cririri ca 'nsemmula semu cchiù forti
picchì li cosi nun su' sempri torti
c'avemu lu ciatu forti da' danza
di danza antica comu la pacenza
ca s'iddu voli ti cancia lu versu
accussi lu cantu e nun finisci persu
If I was male I'd give you the sky
because your voice has come up there
even if the way it was hard
with art, bread and little money
If I was better I’d sing with you
because you're a female like me
put forth your nerves as sheets
so you do not forget that the word
has the strength of a hundred warriors
hundred warriors and a captain
who speaks sweetly if she wants
because she has a sweet gaze
If I was your son would sleep in your chest
because I would like to be first in that place
where silence becomes singing
with art, bread and always love
If I was better I’d sing with you
because you're a female like me
to remind us that in order to fly
we must learn to sew ourselves the wings
that have the strength of a hundred engines
hundred engines and a single woman
who goes around the world if she wants
because she flies high as she looks at the bottom
If I was your father I would give you a caress
To give you the strength of happiness
for present and future thoughts
with art, bread and the revolution
If I was better I’d sing with you
because you're a female like me
to believe that together we are stronger
because things are not always twisted
we have the strong breath of dance
of an old dance like patience
if it wants it can change the verse
but the song is not lost, when you sing it
