Veni, vidi, veci

Veni, vidi, veci

(The moon above was yellow)

Music all around her

In my arms I found her

(I was a lucky fellow)



Veni, vidi, veci

Veni, vidi, veci

(She won my heart completely)

Heaven dressed in satin

As they say in Latin

(I came, I saw, I conquered)



Down by the shores of sunny Italy

In our little rendezvous

We kissed and then we kissed and kissed again

Exactly like the Romans used to do



Veni, vidi, veci

Veni, vidi, veci

Hand in hand we're heading

For a happy wedding

And that's the story of a girl and boy in love



The moon above was yellow

I was a lucky fellow



(Down by the shores of sunny Italy)

(In our little rendezvous)

We kissed and then we kissed and kissed again

Exactly like the Romans used to do



Veni, vidi, veci

Veni, vidi, veci

(How chapel bells are ringing)

Hand in hand we're heading

For a happy wedding

And that's the story of a girl and boy in love
