Roma nun fà la stupida stasera [English translation]

Rome don't act the fool tonight.

give me a hand to make her say yes.

Light all the stars

as brilliant as you can

and a moonlight glimmer just for us.

Make it feel like it's almost spring,

send your best crickets to chirp

Lend me a western breeze

the most mischievous you have

Rome throw in with me tonight1

ROME don't act the fool tonight.

give me a hand to make her say yes.

Light all the stars

as brilliant as you can

and a moonlight glimmer just for us.

Make it feel like it's almost spring,

send your best crickets to chirp

Lend me a western breeze

the most mischievous one you have

Rome don't act the fool tonight.

1. The italian expression "hold a candle to someone" actually means "to play gooseberry" but without too much negative connotation, that's why I prefer a more liberal translation of this line
