Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu rimpiangerai
Puoi tornar cherie
A Montecarlo
Questo nostro amor
Puoi salvare ancor
Oh cherie con me
Rivedrai
Lo stesso mare
E la luna in ciel
Per noi brillare
Torna qui da me
Tutto aspetta te
È un eterno sogno
Montecarlo
No non dimenticar
Questo azzurro mar
Oh oh cherie ritorna
A Montecarlo
Dopo l'imbrunir
Bella da impazzir
Splenderà di luci
Montecarlo
Un romantico passato
Se ritorni
Non andrà
Perduto
Non tardare più
Manchi solo tu
Oh cherie ritorna
A Montecarlo
Un romantico passato
Se ritorni
Non andrà
Perduto
Non tardare più
Manchi solo tu
Oh cherie ritorna
A Montecarlo
Oh cherie ritorna
A Montecarlo

Grande voce il Johnny. C'è anche una versione umoristica in torinese e milanese.
