S'i' Fosse Foco Lyrics in English Fabrizio De André

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song S'i' Fosse Foco by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
S'i' fosse foco, arderei 'l mondo
If I was fire, I would be burned the world
S'i' fosse vento, lo tempesterei
If I were wind, I would storm him
S'i' fosse acqua, i' l'annegherei
If it were water, i 'drinks it
S'i' fosse Dio, mandereil en profondo
If it were God, Mandereil en deep
S'i' fosse papa, sare' allor giocondo
If I were pope, it would be 'to play
Tutti i cristiani imbrigherei
All Christians I would clog
S'i' fosse 'mperator, sa' che farei?
If 'if' mperator, do you know what I would do?
A tutti mozzerei lo capo a tondo
To all I would need the head to Tondo
S'i' fosse morte, andarei da mio padre
If I had died, I would go to my father
S'i' fosse vita, fuggirei da lui
If it were life, I would escape from him
Similemente faria da mi' madre
Similarly far from my mother
S'i' fosse Cecco com'i' sono e fui
If they were Cecco as they are and I was
Torrei le donne giovani e leggiadre
Torrei the young and graceful women
E vecchie e laide lasserei altrui
And old and laide I would have others
S'i' fosse foco, arderei 'l mondo
If I was fire, I would be burned the world
S'i' fosse vento, lo tempesterei
If I were wind, I would storm him
S'i' fosse acqua, i' l'annegherei
If it were water, i 'drinks it
S'i' fosse Dio, mandereil en profondo
If it were God, Mandereil en deep
