If I meet you at another time,
I wonder if I can kiss you all over
Like in the old days, Marja-Leena?
To die of a mere sight of you, baby,
Oh, if only I could get back to you
Yet once again, Anna-Liisa!
But I had to go Rome,
Rome, go home to the faraway Rome
The open city, where a flock of kids is singing
Rome (mamma mia finlandese), Rome,
If you come to me in Rome, I'll cover you with kisses
Dry a tear to the skirt of a nightgown
I'll come to your sleep as to a dream*
You can just come, dearest of all
Come to me now in Rome, Rome,
All the roads lead to Rome, the eternal city
Where a flock of kids is singing
Rome (mamma mia finlandese), Rome,
Come to me now in Rome, the city of love
I never was a Casanova-type
Though your brother thinks that way,
Martti hit me and called me a macaroni
For while the woman of Finland is fair,
A link sausage is the Finnish man,
And full of envy.
But I had to go Rome, Rome,
Go home to the faraway Rome, the open city
Rome (mamma mia finlandese), Rome,
If you come to me in Rome, I'll cover you with kisses
Come to me now in Rome
