If You Were In My Place (What Would You Do ) - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

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?

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?
