The Greencards-All the way from Italy
(lyrics by Ouyang Yu)
We took a ship across the sea
To start a brand new life
Love alone will set us free
We carved our names on the vine
We knelt down to kiss the sand
Knew we could never go back again
We sailed all the way from Italy
All the way from Italy
A little town in the Lombardy
Say goodbye to the family
We'll miss the Alps and the sweet red wine
And walk the 'po' for the very last time
Leaving now with my new bride
All the way from Italy
(music)
We caught site of the southern land
Felt that warm ocean breeze
Met a kind hearted man
Who game me work cutting trees
We sent word back on the vine
"things are gonna be just fine"
We sailed all the way from Italy
All the way from Italy
A little town in the Lombardy
Say goodbye to the family
We'll miss the Alps and the sweet red vine
And walk the 'po' for the very last time
Leaving now with my new bride
All the way from Italy
Some men don't understand
How they could up and move away
But it takes a certain kind of man
And a woman
To be this brave
We sailed all the way from Italy
All the way from Italy
A little town in the Lombardy
Say goodbye to the family
We'll miss the Alps and the sweet red vine
And walk the 'po' for the very last time
Leaving now with my new bride
All the way from Italy |
