Lyrics and translation Connie Francis - Chitarra Romana (Roman Guitar) [Remastered]

Chitarra Romana (Roman Guitar) [Remastered]

Sotto un manto di stelle
Roma bella mi appare,
Solitario il mio cuor disilluso d′amor.
Vuol nell'ombra cantar
Una muta fontana
E un balcone lassù,
O chitarra romana
Accompagnami tu.
Suona suona mia chitarra
Lascia piangere il mio cuore,
Senza casa e senza amore
Mi rimani solo tu.
Se la voce è un po′ velata
Accompagnami in sordina,
La mia bella fornarina
Al balcone non c'è più.
Purple shadows are creeping
And the fountain is weeping
Hear the trees gently sigh
While the wind's murmured by
As they ride from afar
All my memories awaken
′Neath each bright watching star
Play for one who′s forsaken
Oh my Roman guitar
Suona suona mia chitarra
Lascia piangere il mio cuore,
Senza casa e senza amore
Mi rimani solo tu.
Se la voce è un po' velata
Accompagnami in sordina,
La mia bella fornarina
Al balcone non c′è più.
O chitarra romana
Accompagnami tu!

Roman Guitar (Chitarra Romana) [Remastered]

Under a blanket of stars,
Beautiful Rome appears to me,
My heart, solitary and disillusioned by 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 weep,
Without a home and without love,
You are all I have left.
If my voice is a little veiled,
Accompany me softly,
My beautiful baker girl,
Is no longer on the balcony.
Purple shadows are creeping,
And the fountain is weeping,
Hear the trees gently sigh,
While the wind's murmured by,
As they ride from afar,
All my memories awaken,
Beneath each bright watching star,
Play for one who's forsaken,
Oh my Roman guitar,
Play, play my guitar,
Let my heart weep,
Without a home and without love,
You are all I have left.
If my voice is a little veiled,
Accompany me softly,
My beautiful baker girl,
Is no longer on the balcony.
Oh Roman guitar,
Accompany me!
