Chitarra romana [English translation]

Under a mantle of stars

Rome appears to me , beautiful

my lonely heart - disillusioned with love -

wants to sing in the shadow

A silent fountain

and a balcony above

O Roman guitar,

please accompany me.

Play, play, o my guitar

let my heart cry

homeless and loveless

I have only you left.

If my voice is a bit veiled

please accompany me on the sly

my beautiful baker girl

is no longer at the balcony.

The road along the Tiber sleeps

while the river walks by

I follow it because it drags me with itself

and drowns my heart.

I see a distant shadow

and a star above

O Roman guitar

accompany me.

Lonely...

If my voice is a bit veiled

accompany me on the sly

my beautiful baker girl

is no longer at the balcony.

O Roman guitar

please accompany me.
