Verse: G C G D
In the eternal city, where the pavement shine
And the street lamps all twinkle like diamonds in the sky
There’s a melody playing, in the silence of time
Sung from father to father to father to mine

Oh, the song tells a story, of fortunes and fears
Of cowards and courage, and smiles and tears
Of a tale in a glance, a poem in a sigh
And a toast in all glasses to the light in our eyes

Chorus: C G Em G D
Where the rivers they flow with the dreams in our minds
To the sea where all wishes and myths combine
Where the fine yarns are woven, where the magic spins
The eternal city, where all streets begin

Verse: G C G D
By the light of the tavern, where the spirits sing
The laughter it echoes, and the walls they ring
With a rhythm as old as the dawn and the spring
And the tidings of all the good hope that they bring

Somewhere in the distance it whispers our name
A call to the wanderers like the warmth of the flame
No matter where from where no matter will be
In the place where even our shadows run free

Chorus: C G Em G D
Where the rivers they flow with the dreams in our minds
To the sea where all wishes and myths combine
Where the fine yarns are woven, where the magic spins
The eternal city, where all streets begin

Verse: G C G D
In the eternal city, where dreams never die
Where there’s only good friends and there are no goodbyes
We’ll raise pints in our hands, and our loves we will hold
And we’ll dance through the night to the songs in our souls

So here’s to the nights in the places we roam
And here’s to the cities that we call home
With a song in our hearts, I’ll greet you on the street
Of the eternal city, where all souls meet\
