Chitarra Romana
Connie Francis
Roman Guitar
Under a blanket of stars
Beautiful Rome appears to me,
Lonely is my disillusioned heart from love.
It wants to sing in the shadows
A silent fountain
And a balcony up there,
Oh, Roman guitar
Accompany me.
Play, play my guitar
Let my heart cry,
Without a home and without love
You're all I've got left.
If my voice is a bit husky
Accompany me softly,
My beautiful baker girl
Is no longer at the balcony.
Purple shadows are creeping
And the fountain is weeping
Hear the trees gently sigh
While the wind's murmuring by
As they ride from afar
All my memories awaken
'neath each bright watching star
Play for one who's forsaken
On my Roman guitar
Play, play my guitar
Let my heart cry
Without a home and without love
You're all I've got left.
If my voice is a bit husky
Accompany me softly,
My beautiful baker girl
Is no longer at the balcony.
Oh, Roman guitar
Accompany me!
