by Cherubini Bruno

Chitarra romana
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
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 rimanii solo tu!
Se la voce è un pò velata
accompagnami in sordina
la mia bella Fornarina
al balcone non c'è più!!

Lungotevere dorme
mentre il fiume cammina
Io lo seguo perché.
Mi trascina con sè
e travolge il mio cuor.
Vedo un ombra lontana
e una stella lassù
O chitarra Romana
accompagnami tu!

O chitarra Romana
accompagnami tu!
