If I were fire, I would burn the world
If I were wind, I would storm it
If I were water, I would drown it
If I were God, I would send it to the depths

If I were Pope, I would then be happy
I would entangle all Christians
If I were Emperor, do you know what I would do?
I would behead everyone roundly

If I were death, I would go to my father
If I were life, I would flee from him
Similarly, I would do the same with my mother
If I were Cecco as I am and was
I would take young and graceful women
And leave the old and ugly ones to others

If I were fire, I would burn the world
If I were wind, I would storm it
If I were water, I would drown it
If I were God, I would send it to the depths
