Lyrics

Prologue

[English Lyrics]

[Verse 1]

We're gonna be laughing about this

We're gonna be dancing around

It's gonna be so good now

It's gonna be so good

[Chorus 1]

Oh, so exciting

Mmm, go on and on

Every time you leave us

So Summer will be gone

So you'll never grow old to us

[Verse 2]

It's gonna be so good now

It's gonna be so good

Can you see the lark ascending?

What a lovely afternoon

[Chorus 2]

Oh, so romantic

Swept me off my feet

Like some kind of magic

Like the light in Italy

Lost its way across the sea

[Post-Chorus]

Roma, Roma mia

Tesoro mio, bella

Pieno di sole luce

Balli così bene, bene

[Verse 3]

Pianissimo

Pianissimo

What a lovely afternoon

What a lovely afternoon

[Outro]

What a lovely afternoon

What a lovely afternoon

Oh, will you come with us

To find the song of the oil and brush?
