Bajo un manto de estrellas,
Under a cloak of stars
Roma bella aparece.
Rome beautiful shows up
Serenata de amor (1),
Love serenata
con profunda pasión,

yo te vengo a cantar.
I come to sing to you

Una hermosa fontana, (2)
A beautiful fountaine
con mil rayos de luz.

Oh! guitarra romana,
oh! roman guitar
acompañame tú.

Estribillo 1
Suena, suena mi guitarra,
plays, plays my guitar
mientras lloro de emoción.
while I cry with emotion
Roma tiene los encantos,
Rome has the charm
que me inspira mi canción.

Roma, Roma de mi vida,

No me importa la distancia,
I dont mind the distance
si estás en mi corazón.
