When I'm sad, I know where to go
Near a fountain, I will find
The city of bohemians, that I loved so much
She is Italian, she has bewitched me
She is sad and beautiful, it's the big city

In the streets of Rome, I like to walk
I go from the forum, to the Coliseum
Along the alleys, red and orange
I see the churches and the old palaces
The seven hills, sown with olive trees...

My friends don't be too sad
If I found the country where we love
The sweetness of life, love and poetry
In Florence, in Venice, in Rome, in Napoli!

On a terrace, we drink coffees
Ice cream vendors, start to shout
The Piazza Navona, is all agitated
And on their piaggo, the boys are handsome
The girls are pretty, on the Via Condotti!

When night falls, we get dressed
We go out, we show ourselves, we like to talk
Guitar players, come to lull us

Beautiful stories, that make us dream
And on the sidewalks, we start to dance...

My friends don't be too sad
If I found the country where we love
The sweetness of life, love and poetry
In Florence, in Venice, in Rome, in Napoli!

For a Roman, who drove me crazy
I lost my head, for her soft eyes
And under her window, I come to give her
A serenade that I composed
A Tarantella, that I come to sing to you...

I adore you, I adore you, I adore your hands
I adore you, I adore you, I adore your eyes
I adore you, I adore you, but even more
I adore you by day, I adore you by night
I adore you love, I adore you more!!

In the streets of Rome, I like to walk
I go from the forum, to the Coliseum
Along the alleys, red and orange
I see the churches and the old palaces
The seven hills, sown with olive trees...
