On An Evening In Roma

Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean

Como e' bella ce' la luna brille e' strette

strette como e' tutta bella a passeggiare

Sotto il cielo di Roma



Down each avenue or via, street or strata

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 evning 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
