Como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette
strette como e` tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Down each avenue or via, street or strata
You can see 'em disappearing two by two
On an evening in Roma
Do they take 'em for espresso
Yeah, I guess so
On each lover's arm a girl I wish I knew
On an evening in Roma [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/dean_martin/on_an_evening_in_roma_sotter_celo_de_roma.html ]
Though there's grining and mandolining in sunny Italy
The beginning has just begun when the sun goes down
So please meet me in the plaza near your casa
I am only one and that's one too few
On an evening in Roma
Don't know what the country's coming to
But in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you on an evening in Roma
Como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette
strette como e` tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Don't know what the country's coming to
But in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you on an evening in Roma
Sott'er celo de Roma
On an evening in Roma

Obviously, a girl has lost her dog, maximillion, who was just recently diagnosed with dog aids. Dean martin rides in on a wwi-era battleship, straight through the middle of rome, knocking over tables and causing a rukkus, to find the lady and ease her mind. The line "sotto il cielo di roma" is pretty literally translated as, "i know you lost your dog because i heard it over the citizens band in chicago and i want to make it up to you. Your eyes are tender and i am packing roughly the equivalent of 40,000,000 sticks of dynamite in the cargo hold of my wwi-era battleship. Don't sink me! Forget about your dog. I think i'm falling asleep. Scotch. Roma. "
