Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Roman lads on Vespas, racing through the ancient streets (ciao-bella)
With a flick of their hair and a gaze that won't retreat (oh-mio)
But beware of the ruins, not just the ones in Rome (attenzione)
They'll charm you by the Colosseum, then leave you all alone (scat-da-li-da-li-da-lo)
[Verse 2]
They've got stories of empires, whispering history in your ear (scat-da-li-di-da-lo)
Promises as fleeting as a gladiator's cheer (vai-vai)
With a gelato in one hand, and your heart in the other (oh-cara)
They're sculptors of affection, but love is not their offer (no-no)
[Chorus]
Mind the Roman boys with their ancient city tricks (scat-da-li-da-li-da-lo)
They'll romance you under stars, then vanish with the flicks (oh-mamma)
Don't be swayed by their passion or swept up in their tales (scat-da-li-di-da-li-da)
For every Roman holiday, a heartbreak prevails (scat-da-li-di-da-li-do)
[saxphone solo[
[Bridge]
Underneath the olive trees, their words flow sweet as wine (dolce-vita)
But love's a fleeting shadow in the Roman sunshine (scat-da-li-da-li-da)
So hold your heart close, and your wishes closer still (tieni-forte)
Lest a Roman holiday leaves a void they'll never fill (scat-da-li-di-da-li-da)
[Chorus]
Mind the Roman boys with their ancient city tricks (scat-da-li-da-li-da-lo)
They'll romance you under stars, then vanish with the flicks (oh-mamma)
Don't be swayed by their passion or swept up in their tales (scat-da-li-di-da-li-da)
For every Roman holiday, a heartbreak prevails (scat-da-li-di-da-li-do)
[Outro]
So if you wander through Rome, guard your heart with care (scat-da-li-da-li-da)
For a Roman holiday romance is but a sweet, fleeting affair (arrivederci)
And when in the Eternal City, where love and loss entwine (scat-da-li-di-da-li-do)
Remember Roman boys leave memories, not promises that bind (scat-da-li-da-li-da-lo)
[end]
