Veni, vidi, veci
|
Veni, vidi, veci
|
(The moon above was yellow)
|
Music all around her
|
In my arms I found her
|
(I was a lucky fellow)
|
|
Veni, vidi, veci
|
Veni, vidi, veci
|
(She won my heart completely)
|
Heaven dressed in satin
|
As they say in Latin
|
(I came, I saw, I conquered)
|
|
Down by the shores of sunny Italy
|
In our little rendezvous
|
We kissed and then we kissed and kissed again
|
Exactly like the Romans used to do
|
|
Veni, vidi, veci
|
Veni, vidi, veci
|
|
Hand in hand we're heading
|
For a happy wedding
|
And that's the story of a girl and boy in love
|
|
The moon above was yellow
|
|
I was a lucky fellow
|
|
(Down by the shores of sunny Italy)
|
(In our little rendezvous)
|
We kissed and then we kissed and kissed again
|
Exactly like the Romans used to do
|
|
Veni, vidi, veci
|
Veni, vidi, veci
|
(How chapel bells are ringing)
|
Hand in hand we're heading
|
For a happy wedding
|
And that's the story of a girl and boy in love
|
