If I were Leander, Swimming across the sea,
Hero is all I’d want you to be.
Remember to light your candle,So that I can see,
Where you are going to be.

If I were the Cupid,Shooting wild and free,
Little pretty Psyche is who you should be.
I’ll take you as my wife,Even if they say no,
And even if you should be a mortal
lalala la lalala la lala la la la
la la la la la
If I were Narcissus,Starring at me,
You should be the reflection that I see.
And when I die, I’ll turn into a flower,
You can paint me in to a picture.
lalala la lalala la lala la la la
la la la la la
If I were Hermaphroditus son of Aphrodite,
You’ll be the nymph that fell in love with me,
You crazy bitch, praying to the gods,
Now we’re two peas stuck in one pod.
lalala la lalala la lala la la la
la la la la la
If I were Pyramus, living in Assyria,
You’ll be Thisbe my rivalled neighbour,
We’ll meet at dusk by King Ninus’ tomb,
And if you should die then I shall too.
lalala la lalala la lala la la la
la la la la la
If I were Baucis you’d be Philemon,
By the hands of god, this town will be gone,
And when we die, we’ll turn into trees,
You’ll be growing tall right next to me.
lalala la lalala la lala la la la
la la la la la
If I were Cephalus, disguised as a stranger,
Unfaithful Procis you’ll still be my lover,
Sorry that I accidently killed you,
Now Cephallenia is the island I rule.
