ROMA ROMA ROMA!

Tuesday night was the Roma-Munich game and we couldn't leave Rome without seeing a live soccer game.  You may remember our unsuccessful attempt to attend a game in early october and how we walked an hour and a half to the stadium only to realize we couldn't buy tickets there.  This time, we were prepared (and wearing our Roma t-shirts).  The Rome Olympic stadium was packed and the bus was so crowded but we made and got our seats and watched a great game!  Roma won 3-2!

At the game (with an Italian friend?)

Here's the Roma song we sing at the end of a soccer match:
Roma Roma Roma
core de 'sta Citta
unico grande amore
de tanta e tanta ggente
che fai sospira
Roma Roma Roma
lassace canta,
da 'sta voce nasce n'coro
so' centomila voci
ciai fatto 'nnamora.
Roma Roma Roma,
t'ho dipinta io
gialla come er sole
rossa come er core mio
Roma Roma Roma
nun te fa 'ncanta
tu sei nata grande
e grande hai da resta
Roma Roma Roma
core de 'sta Citta
unico grande amore
de tanta e tanta gente
m'hai fatto 'nammora

Roma Roma Roma
heart of this City
one and only love
of so much and so many people
which you make sigh for.
Roma Roma Roma
let us sing,
from this voice a chorus is born
you made fall in love one hundred thousand voices.
Roma beautiful Roma,
I painted you
yellow like the sun
red like my heart
Roma, my Roma,
don't let them enchant you
you were born great
and great you have to remain
Roma Roma Roma
heart of this City
one and only love
of many and many people
you made us fall in love
