Arrivederci, Roma

Joseph Calleja


T'invidio turista che arrivi
T'imbevi de fori e de scavi
Poi tutto d'un tratto te trovi
Fontana de Trevi ch'e tutta pe' te!

E mentre er soldo bacia er fontanone
La tua canzone in fondo è questa qua

Arrivederci, Roma
Goodbye... Au Revoir
City of a million moonlit places
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one
Above the faces far from home

Arriverderci, Roma
It's time for us to part
Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love
Keeps burning in her heart

Arrivederci, Roma
Goodbye... Au Revoir
Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love
Keeps burning in her heart
