The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Roma" by Manel.

Lyrics

Si hagués nascut a Roma, fa més de dos mil anys
Viuríem en un Imperi, tindríem un esclau
I àmfores al pati plenes d’oli i vi
I una estàtua de marbre dedicada a mi
Si hagués nascut a Roma, fa més de dos mil anys
No faria olor de xampú el teu cabell daurat
Oferiríem bous als deus, brindaríem amb soldats
I ens despertaria un carro pujant per l’empedrat
I els turistes es fan fotos on tu i jo vam esmorzar
Són les coses bones de passar a l’eternitat
I una guia els ensenya el mosaic del menjador
Es retraten i passegen per la nostra habitació
I ara un nen dibuixa a llapis a la sala del museu
El braçalet de maragdes que t’embolicava el peu
I un submarinista troba els nostres gots i els nostres plats
Són les coses bones de passar a l’eternitat

Lyrics translation

If you had been born in Rome, for more than two thousand years
Viuríem in an Empire, we would have a slave
And amphorae in the courtyard full of olive oil and wine
And a marble statue dedicated to me
If you had been born in Rome, for more than two thousand years
I would not make the smell of the shampoo your hair golden
Oferiríem oxen to the gods, brindaríem with soldiers
And we despertaria a cart up to the paved
And the tourists are taking pictures where you and I had breakfast
Are good things to spend eternity
And a guide that teaches the mosaic of the dining room
They portray and go for a walk to our room
And now a boy drawn in pencil in the hall of the museum
The bracelet of emeralds that you messed up the foot
And a divers finds our glasses and our plates
Are good things to spend eternity
