When In Rome (Do As The Romans Do) Songtext
von Barbra Streisand

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
Cherchez 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 yen in Rome
And naturally when in Rome, I do as the Romans do

È molto difficile resistere agli uomini d′Italia
Per esempio, per esempio i biondi
I 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
Because I'm once again in Rome

In somebody′s den in Rome
Well honey, quand j'vais 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

Venni, vidi, vinsi
