Under a mantle of stars
Beautiful Rome appears to me
Solitary, my heart disillusioned by love
Wants to sing in the shadows

A silent fountain
And a balcony up there
Oh Roman guitar
Accompany me

Play, play my guitar
Let my heart weep
Without a home and without love
Only you remain with me

If the voice is a bit veiled
Accompany me softly
My beautiful baker girl
Is no longer at the balcony

The Tiber sleeps
While the river walks
I follow it because it drags me with it
And overwhelms my heart

I see a distant shadow
And a star up there
Oh Roman guitar
Accompany me

If the voice is a bit veiled
Accompany me softly
My beautiful baker girl
Is no longer at the balcony

Oh Roman guitar
Accompany me
