Lyrics of Rome - Dschinghis Khan

Rome (original)

Rom — viele tausend Jahre alt
Zwischen Frieden und Gewalt
Zwischen Zukunft und Vergangenheit
Rom — große Stadt am Tiberstrom
Wo die Lust am Leben wohnt
Und wo jeder Stein Geschichte schreibt
Ausgesetzt und um den Thron betrogen
Und von einer Wölfin großgezogen
Romulus und Remus, die zwei Brüder
Bauten eine Stadt auf sieben Hügeln
Roma — Roma — Romulus schlug seinen Bruder tot
Roma — Roma — Stadt aus Stein und Blut
Rom — oft erobert und verloren
Rom — Hannibal stand vor den Toren
Rom — Kaiser, Päpste, Gladiatoren
Das war Rom
Rom — wilde Wagenrennen
Rom — Nero sah dich brennen
Immer schon gab’s Kampf um Rom
Rom — Caesar musste sterben
Rom — lag in Schutt und Scherben
Und blieb doch auf ewig Rom
Rom — do bist heut' so stolz wie einst
Es wird regnen, wenn do weinst
Wenn do lachst, erklingen Lieder
Rom — Filmkulisse bist do heut'
Und der Traum aus Zelluloid
Ist der Spiegel deiner Seele
Rom Rom — zwischen Zukunft und Vergangenheit
Rom — dort wo jeder Stein Geschichte schreibt
Rom — wo ein Fremder gern für immer bleibt
Dort ist Rom, Rom, Rom
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Lalalalalalala
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Che bellissima città
Lalala…
Roma, Roma, Roma Roma
Rom — wo die Liebe auf der Strasse ligt
Rom — wo es Bettler, Gaukler, Priester gibt
Rom — wer dich einmal sah, vergisst dich nie
Ewiges Rom, Rom, Rom
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Lalalalalala
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Lalalalalala
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Che città, che città, città!

(translation)

Rome — many thousands of years old
Between peace and violence
Between future and past
Rome — great city on the Tiber River
Where the lust for life resides
And where every stone writes history
Abandoned and cheated of the throne
And raised by a she-wolf
Romulus and Remus, the two brothers
Built a city on seven hills
Roma - Roma - Romulus killed his brother
Roma — Roma — city of stone and blood
Rome — often conquered and lost
Rome — Hannibal stood at the gates
Rome — Emperors, Popes, Gladiators
That was Rome
Rome — wild chariot races
Rome — Nero saw you burn
There has always been a fight for Rome
Rome — Caesar had to die
Rome was in ruins
And yet remained Rome forever
Rome — you're as proud today as you once were
It will rain if you cry
If you laugh, songs will ring out
Rome — film set you're there today
And the dream made of celluloid
Is the mirror of your soul
Rome Rome — between future and past
Rome — where every stone writes history
Rome — where a stranger likes to stay forever
There is Rome, Rome, Rome
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Che bellissima citta
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Che bellissima citta
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Lalalalalalala
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma
Che bellissima citta
Lalala…
Roma, Roma, Roma Roma
Rome — where love lies in the streets
Rome — where there are beggars, jugglers, priests
Rome — whoever saw you will never forget you
Eternal Rome, Rome, Rome
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, la la la la la
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, la la la la la
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma, Che bellissima città
Che citta, che citta, citta!
