ARRIVEDERCI, ROMA



Arrivederci, Roma. Goodbye, goodbye to Rome.

City of a million moonlit places,

city of a million warm embraces,

where I found the one of all the faces far from home.



Arrivederci, Roma. It's time for us to part.

Save the wedding bells for my returning,

keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning.

Please, be sure the flame of love keeps burning in her heart.



- Carl Sigman
