Traduzione del testo della canzone If You Were in My Place - Duke Ellington

If You Were in My Place (originale)

If you were in my place
what would you do
Would you hold me in the same embrace
as I’m holding you?
Would you kiss and sigh just as I
then for another kiss insist
Would you scheme and dream, treat me mean
and tell me that you can’t resist?
If you were in my place, what would you say
Would you say to me as I say to you
'I feel that certain way'?
Like a heart that never spoke before
would you say as mine, 'It's you I adore'
If you were in my place,
darling what would you do?

If You Were in My Place (traduzione)

Se tu fossi al mio posto
Cosa faresti
Mi stringeresti nello stesso abbraccio
come ti sto tenendo?
Vorresti baciare e sospirare proprio come me
poi per un altro bacio insisti
Vorresti progettare e sognare, trattami male
e dimmi che non puoi resistere?
Se fossi al mio posto, cosa diresti
Mi diresti come dico a te
'Mi sento in un certo modo'?
Come un cuore che non ha mai parlato prima
diresti come mio, "Sei tu che adoro"
Se tu fossi al mio posto,
tesoro cosa faresti?
