Al Mio Paese
Bobby Solo
To My Hometown
In my hometown
When the sun beats down on the houses
All the people close their eyes
And shut the shutters
When it's siesta time
It's a party for me
Instead of sleeping, I go for a walk
Alone with my love
In my hometown
When the sun beats down on the houses
We kiss in the square
As if it were midnight
The white air trembles and burns
But if she speaks to me
I feel refreshed, I feel like I'm flying
Like I'm by the seaside
She gives me cherries and lilacs
Stolen from the gates
And she places crowns of kisses
Around my hair
Like a king and a queen
We cross the city
But
The people don't know
In my hometown
When the sun beats down on the houses
All the people close their eyes
And shut the shutters
When it's siesta time
It's a party for me
Instead of sleeping, I go for a walk
Alone with my love
She gives me cherries and lilacs
Stolen from the gates
And she places crowns of kisses
Around my hair
Like a king and a queen
We cross the city
But
The people don't know
In my hometown
The people don't know
