On An Evening In Roma
Dean Martin · All-Time Greatest Hits
strette como e' tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Down each avenue or via, street or strada
You can see 'em disappearing two by two
On an evening in Roma
Do they take 'em for espresso
Yeah, I guess so
On each lover's arm a girl I wish I knew
On an evening in Roma
Though there's grining and mandolining in sunny Italy
The beginning has just begun when the sun goes down
So please meet me in the plaza near your casa
I am only one and one is one too few
On an evening in Roma
Don't know what the country's coming to
But in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you on an evening in Roma
Como e' bella ce' la luna brille e' strette
strette como e' tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Don't know what the country's coming to
But in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you on an evening in Roma
Sott'er celo de Roma
On an evening in Roma
On An Evening In Roma
Dean Martin's 'On An Evening In Roma' stands as a quintessential example of his smooth, lounge-oriented vocal style that defined the mid-20th century. Recorded in the classic Sinatra-Martin era, the track captures the relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere of Italian nightlife through Martin's signature croon and the song's gentle, rhythmic arrangement. Featured on his 'All-Time Greatest Hits' compilation, the recording showcases his mastery of close-mic technique and understated emotion, avoiding dramatic flourishes in favor of a cool, detached delivery that became his trademark. The song reflects the broader genre of easy listening and bar music popular during the 1950s and 1960s, serving as a timeless representation of the era's cinematic and social elegance.
