She’s got the sleekest, firmest skin,
The softest amber glow,
She’s the girl from Ancona, ah-oh.
The beautiful girl from Ancona,
Like a warm breeze by the sea,
Hair like the darkening evening,
Such beauty.
Her eyes are the deepest,
The darkest pools I know,
Bathe in her gaze of liquid fire, ah-oh.
She’ll dance on the steps of Passetto,
Blue sky and white stone at her feet,
As pure as the heat of the evening,
As wild as the depths of the sea.
Her touch is hidden knowledge,
That few are meant to know,
She spins the World around her, oh-oh.
By night the deep black of the ocean,
Stretches out to eternity,
She’s like the lights on the shoreline,
Such beauty.
La, la, la, la, la ,la, la, la…
