Back in Rome 03:27
Off the plane, o sole Home again, that’s amore The happy feeling How my heart is reeling With this sense of bliss I always miss When I’m gone too long Walking on a cloud I wanna cry out loud Here is where I belong I’m back in Rome My one and only Rome Eternal city Still the same, so pretty I’m back in Rome My one and only Rome Immortal lady Old mamma, so sassy The heat in the air And daylight so fair Trastevere at spring time in the sun I walk across the river to the Pantheon Churches, fountains, statues all around The Colosseum glowing when the day is done Silhouettes of the cypresses Enchanting colours on the hills The beauty of it all It’s supernatural I’m back in Rome And I took the only road that leads to it The road of a heart That never left this timeless town The beat in the air At midnight on a square Evening in the streets, I’m having fun Early next morning, I’m on the run A train from Ostiense to Ostia beach The Appia Antica within my reach Ruins in the countryside Seagulls, starlings on the glide The magic of it all Once more I hear the call I’m back in Rome And I took the only road that leads to it The road of a heart That never left this timeless town

Almond Trees 04:19
Almond trees Buds of white and pink Blossom on the hills On branches black as ink Wild gypsies Among the flowers bloom Brown kisses Blissful lips of doom Crooked, dry they are Their fruit both soft and hard Happy, fierce they stand With their roots Down into barren land Milk takes long to come And promises can break at dawn Almond trees may look fearsome When the morning mist lingers on Where love is missing On the black mountain hills There is no kissing Among the almond trees No kissing among Almond trees

Our Holiday 03:02
There was friendship Floating in the air On a nice trip In the middle of nowhere We were playing the fool Life without care It was just another Happy holiday With smiles on our lips We went to the shore We had beer & chips Laughing galore We were killing the blues ln a moment we shared It was just another Lazy sunny day And so graceful we went Feeling grateful we went Strolling on a journey With the love of friends It was Our holiday Then on this nice trip From out of nowhere We found a big ship Embarked from there Off to see the world The breeze in our hair It was just another Crazy getaway And so graceful we went Feeling grateful we went Sailing on a journey With the love of friends It was Our holiday

What’s with the wind? It’s getting on my nerves Laughing as it blurs My memories Faces of forgotten winters What’s with this wind? It’s scaring all the girls Tearing off their pearls, And necklaces Traces of forsaken lovers I hear it sing Of stories from my past Those loves that did not last And it taunts me Harsh wind So sarcastic in tone With such a mocking moan Leaving me no rest The devil wind Puts me to the test I hear it sing Of old tales from my past Those passions gone too fast And it haunts me Cruel wind What’s with the wind?

On dit que tout jeune femme Un amour Fit vaciller son âme Nuit et jour Désormais la flamme éteinte Le cœur est lourd Seule Un voile sur son regard de velours Comme au hasard La vie suit son cours Le temps passe et se ressemble Les amours changent Danser, fumer Sortir dîner au bras d'un homme Élégant Désinvolte Sans penser au lendemain Libre comme le vent Est-ce là tout ce qu'elle attend ? Non Dame aux diamants Elle sait bien au fond Qu'il fut un temps Où c'était si bon Et le soir tard dans le noir Elle pleure
