Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Roma Roma Roma
Core de sta città
Unico grande amore, de tanta e tanta gente che fai sospirà
Roma Roma Roma
Lassace cantà, da sta voce nasce un coro,
Sò cento mila voci che hai fatto innammorà
Roma Roma bella
Tò dipinta io
Gialla come l′ sole
Rossa come er core mio
Roma roma mia
Nun te fa incantà
Tu sei nata grande, e grande hai da restà
Roma Roma Roma




Core de sta città
Unico grande amore, de tanta e tanta gente, che hai fatto innammorà
