Pertama kali aku melihatnya
She was wearing scarves of white
Dia mengenakan syal putih
That little spark between us
Percikan kecil di antara kita
Took only seconds to ignite
Hanya butuh beberapa detik untuk menyalakan
And then it occured to me
Dan kemudian hal itu terjadi padaku
But suddenly I was standing there alone
Tapi tiba-tiba aku berdiri di sana sendirian
On the Spanish steps of Rome
Di tangga Spanyol Roma
I kept searching through the allies
Aku terus mencari-cari sekutu
Kept searching through the catacombes that night
Terus mencari melalui katakombe malam itu
I closed my eyes and threw a coin in the fountain
Aku memejamkan mata dan melempar koin ke air mancur
She was nowhere insight
Dia bukan tempat di mana pun
I wandered through the holy city
Aku berjalan melalui kota suci
Like a beggar beneath the moon lit dome
Seperti pengemis di bawah kubah yang diterangi bulan
Near the Spanish steps of Rome
Dekat tangga Spanyol Roma
I heard a voice as I looked through my fingers
Aku mendengar suara saat aku melihat melalui jariku
And saw the old monsigneur
Dan melihat monsigneur tua itu
He gave me his blessing and said to me:
Dia memberiku restu dan berkata kepadaku:
“Don’t try and please her”
“Jangan mencoba dan menyenangkan dia”
And then I heard her singing like some diva
Lalu aku mendengarnya bernyanyi seperti beberapa diva
Parched upon her throne
Berlari di atas takhtanya
On the Spanish steps of Rome
Di tangga Spanyol Roma
Now I know I should have listened
Sekarang aku tahu seharusnya aku mendengarkan
When he warned me – He warned me not to follow
Saat dia memperingatkan saya – Dia memperingatkan saya untuk tidak mengikutinya
I noticed that the statues eyes
Saya perhatikan bahwa mata patung itu
Were all sunken and hollow
Semuanya cekung dan cekung
She let hose young wolves do their dirty deeds
Dia membiarkan selang serigala muda melakukan perbuatan kotor mereka
While she lay inside her home
Sementara dia berbaring di rumahnya
On the Spanish steps of Rome
Di tangga Spanyol Roma
