Italian lesson n. 1

Do you remind Antonello Venditti? ok...


Looking at yesterday's post i decided to start, today, my first italian lesson! Obviously as well as i can by the moment, is better to remind, that i'm italian and my english, i know, is probably the most "nonsense english" in the world! ;-)
Let's start from the title: Roma Capoccia
I think we don't have any prblem with the concept of "Rome", isn't it?!
Ok, but what does it means capoccia?!
In roman dialect it could have two different meanings:
-head, that one over your neck yes!
-or chief, that is the right one!And so Roma Capoccia means Roma Chief!!
Going on, the rest is easier...
How beautiful are you Rome, when the evening comes and when the moon reflects itself in the fountain, and lovers go away...
How beautiful are you Rome when is raining down...
How beautiful are you Rome, when is the sunset time and the orange of the setting sun still brights over the seven hills, and windows are like so many eyes that seem to say: how beautiful you are!
Today it seems to me like time has stopped here..
I see the Colosseo majesty and the holiness of San Peter's dome and i feel more alive and kind, no i'll never leave you Rome!Chief of the all over infamous world!
A chariot goes on with two stangers and an old-clothes dealer ask for some rags, birds are like nightningale...
I was born here, Rome, i've discovered you this morning, Rome.
This song nowadays is considered like a new himn to the beauty of Rome.
