If only you were my brother...

Hi,

Is this sentence correct?

If only you were my brother(little)...
君は私の弟でありさえすればいいのにな...

Thank you.

Konnichiwa.
The ‘only’ modifies ‘you’ or modifies ‘you were my younger brother’?
If it’s the first case, the translation is ‘君だけが私の弟だったらなあ…’
If it’s the second case, your translation is good.
