If I was a better man
Would fellow men take me to their hearts?
If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Tell me
would that alarm her?
I’d never harm her at all.
If I was a soldier
captive arms I’d lay before her.
If I was a sailor
seven oceans I’d sail to her.
If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out and touch me?
If I was a kinder man
Dishing out love for a hungry world
Tell me
would that appease her? I want to please her again.
If I was a painter
I’d paint a world that couldn’t taint her.
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her.
If I was a poet
All my love and burning words I would show it.
If I was a lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover.
Come here
my baby
oh
they can’t touch you now
I’ll keep you safe and warm
I’ll never leave you at all.
Come here
my baby
oh
they won’t touch you
Dishing up love for a hungry world
tell me
would that appease you?
I want to please you again.

Prevod na srpski
Kad bih bio
Da sam bolji čovek
Da li bi me drugi ljudi u svoja srca primili?
Kad bih bio neki jači čovek
Što svima udovoljava
Reci mi
Da li bi je to uznemirilo?
Nikada joj ne bih naudio.
Da sam vojnik
Zaplenjeno oružje ja pred nju bih položio.
Da sam mornar
Sedam okeana do nje bih preplovio.
Da sam neki mudriji čovek
Da li bi mi drugi ljudi ruku pružili i dotakli me?
Da sam neki ljubazniji čovek
Što deli ljubav gladnom svetu
Reci mi
da li bi je to umirilo? Želim da joj ponovo udovoljim.
Da sam slikar
Naslikao bih svet koji joj ne bi mrlje stvarao
Da sam vođa
Nebeskom hranom ljubavi ja bih je hranio.
Da sam pesnik
Svu svoju ljubav i vatrene reči ja bih pokazao.
Da sam ljubavnik
Njene oči poljupcima ja bih obasuo.
Dođi ovamo
Mala moja
Oh
Sad ti ništa ne mogu
Ja ću te čuvati na sigurnom i toplom
Baš nikada te ostaviti neću.
Dođi ovamo
Mala moja
Oh
Neće ti ništa
Da delim ljubav gladnom svetu
Reci mi
Da li bi te to umirilo?
Želim da ti ponovo udovoljim.
