Rome - many thousands of years old
Caught between peace and violence
Between past and future
Rom - great city by the Tiber river
Where lust for life is living
And every stone is making history1
Abandoned and robbed off the throne
Raised by a she-wolf
Romulus and Remus, two brothers
Built a city upon seven hills
Roma - Roma - Romulus struck his brother dead
Roma - Roma - city of stone and blood
Rome - conquered and lost time and again
Rome - Hannibal stood before its gates
Rome - emperors, popes, gladiators
That was Rome
Rome - wild chariot races
Rome - Nero watched you burn
Rome has always been contested
Rome - Caesar had to die
Rome - reduced to rubbles
And yet forever remained Rome
Rome - you're as proud today as you once were
When you cry, it's gonna rain
When you laugh, there's gonna be songs
Rome - a backdrop for movies, that's what you are today
And that silver screen dream
Is a mirror of your soul
Rome, Rome - between past and future
Rome - where every stone makes history
Rome - where a stranger likes to stay for good
That's where you are, Rome, Rome, Rome
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma,
Che bellissima città2
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma,
Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma,
Lalalalalalala
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Che bellissima città
Lalala.....
Roma, Roma, Roma Roma
Rome - where love is out on the streets
Rome - where there's beggars, jugglers and priests
Rome - those who saw you once will never forget you
Eternal Rome, Rome, Rome
