If I was your woman
I would push you even more to follow your dreams
If I was your woman,
I would have the strength that I sometimes miss, to persist with mine.
If I was your woman,
I would say that the naivety of these weeks was the best gift we could give to ourselves.
If I was your woman
I know that together we could do the impossible
‘cause you were born to do it,
And so was I.
If I was your woman, damn it, you would be my man.
If I was your woman,
I would know for sure that destiny exists.
That it plays its own rules to bring us where we are supposed to be.
‘Cause to be here and now I had to play hard,
Fighting against many circumstances, no accepting compromises.
And you, well,
you had to do it much more than me.
If I was your woman
You would listen less country music and more rock n’roll.
If I was your woman
I would probably give in on tea with milk
(Don’t even think about coffee, please).
If I was your woman
I would be a better woman.
‘cause you make me feel I want to be.
If I was your woman
I wouldn’t promise to be it forever,
but I would certainly promise, to commit entirely myself to us,
to give you the truth
to be on your side until we feel it right.
I would protect you from anything I can
but you would always be free,
so would I.
I would drive you crazy every now and then,
(Not as you are thinking … silly).
I would make you feel at home, anywhere in the world.
If I was your woman,
I’d have found a home.
If I was your woman,
I would tell you I need to take it easy,
But I don’t want to miss a thing.
If I was your woman
You would know that I’ve never made public statements to anyone before
still, I’ve loved many people.
If I was your woman
reality would be different
and we shouldn’t say goodbye so soon.
But who knows,
we might find a way to meet again,
somewhere, at some point.
After all,
if I didn’t see possibilities where everybody else only sees barriers,
I wouldn’t be me.
And I, I’ve never been myself more than I am today.

Se fossi la tua donna
Ti spingerei ancor di più a seguire i tuoi sogni
Se fossi la tua donna,
Avrei la forza che a volte mi manca, per persistere coi miei
Se fossi la tua donna,
Ti direi che la nostra ingenuità è stata il dono migliore che potessimo concederci.
Se fossi la tua donna
So che insieme potremmo fare l’impossibile
Perché tu sei nato per farlo,
E anche io.
Se fossi la tua donna, cazzo, tu saresti il mio uomo.
Se fossi la tua donna,
Saprei con certezza che il destino esiste e gioca ruoli strani per portarci un giorno dove siamo.
Perché per vivere questo presente, io ho lottato a denti stretti senza accettare compromessi.
E tu, beh,
tu molto più di me.
Se fossi la tua donna
Ascolteresti meno country e più rock.
Se fossi la tua donna
Probabilmente cederei sul latte nel té
(Nel caffè mai, sappilo).
Se fossi la tua donna
Sarei una donna migliore,
Perché tu mi fai venir voglia di migliorare.
Se fossi la tua donna
Non ti prometterei di esserlo per sempre,
ma di esserlo veramente fino in fondo finché lo sentiremo giusto.
Ti proteggerei da tutto quello che posso
Ma saresti sempre libero,
Così sarei io.
Ti farei impazzire ogni tanto,
(Non come stai pensando…attento).
Ti farei sentire a casa, in ogni luogo del mondo.
Se fossi la tua donna,
una casa l’avrei trovata io.
Se fossi la tua donna,
Ti direi che ho bisogno di andarci piano,
Ma che non voglio perdermi niente.
Se fossi la tua donna
Sapresti che non ho mai fatto dichiarazioni pubbliche a nessuno prima d’ora
Eppure, ne ho amate di persone.
Se fossi la tua donna
La realtà sarebbe un’altra e
non dovremmo separarci cosi presto.
Ma chissà,
Infondo, non sarei io se non vedessi possibilità dove tutti vedono limiti.
E io, non sono mai stata me stessa più di quanto lo sia adesso.
