Volente o nolente [English translation]

If it was up to me,

the phone would sound

only with beautiful news

and nice company.

If it was up to me,

you wouldn't be out there on a stroll,

you would know what to do

and I would also know.

Whether you like it or not,

I'll respond presently.

Whether you like it or not,

you don't leave anything behind.

If it were up to me,

we would all understand a bit of everything.

In any case, there would be some countryside

in this gallery.

If it were up to me,

it would always be Christmas here

and the lights wouldn't be turned off

if I didn't say so.

Whether you like it or not,

I'll respond presently.

Whether you like it or not,

you're always in my head.

Whether you like it or not,

you don't leave anything behind.

If it were up to me,

you wouldn't come from a place

that wasn't the same place

I am from as well.

Whether you like it or not,

I'll respond presently.

Whether you like it or not,

there is always a horizon.

Whether you like it or not,

you don't leave anything behind.
