La Serenissima

On the Ponte di Rialto

Gondolieri in the afterglow

We stumble into a bar

Only 5 strings on my guitar

And we sing and we play

With la Serenissima

And she laughs and she cries

In the heart of Venesia

And we sing and we play

With la Serenissima

And we've seen her all our lives

from afar

Rising early in the morning haze

smell of coffee in the alleyways

Acqua alta has shown its face

A kinda magic in this place

And we sing and we play

With la Serenissima

And she laughs and she cries

In the heart of Venesia

And we sing and we play

With la Serenissima

And we've seen her all our lives

From afar
