When In Rome (I Do As the Romans Do)

When on foreign shores, I am

Very truly yours, I am

But if inclined to play, I am

Sweetheart, that's the way I am

When in Spain

For reasons I don't explain

I remain enjoying a brew

Don't deplore

My fondness for Fundador

You know how a Fundador can lead to a few

And, baby, when in Rome

I do as the Romans do

If, per chance, I'm saying farewell to France

And romance drops in from the blue

Chercher l'amour

I beg of you, please endure

My taking a brief detour

With somebody new

It's just that

When in Rome, I do as the Romans do

And though, from Italy

I lied to you prettily

Oh, don't think of me bitterly

You know that I'm true

Except now and then, in Rome

I get that old yearnin' roam

And, naturally, when in Rome

I do as the Romans do

È molto difficile resistere agli uomini di Italia

Per esempio, per esempio I biondi

Biondi di Firenze, di Venezia

E I bruni di Palermo, di Milano

You know what I mean?

If I write happily

Best wishes from Napoli

Don't cable me snappily

To tell me we're through

'Cause I'm once again in Rome

In somebody's den in Rome

Well, honey bunch, then in Rome

I do as the Romans do

So just disregard the signs

And the omens

When in Rome, I do as the Romans do

Veni, vidi, vince
