[Verse 1]
Met you by the harbor, old stone pier
Sandals in your hand, sea salt in your hair
Brunette waves, hazel gaze on me
Gelato dripping, laughing in the heat
Nonna on the balcony yelling “mangia, dai”
You stealing my cannolo, powdered sugar on your smile
You spin in that sundress, warm and wild
I swear this whole island just paused a while
[Chorus]
You and me in Sicilia
Sun on your skin, cuore in fiamma
Hazel eyes, they pull me deeper
Brunette queen of my eternal summer
You and me in Sicilia
From the market to the marina
Every strada, every sera
I just wanna spend my life right here con te
[Verse 2]
We pass the lemons hanging over cracked white walls
Kids play calcio, someone shouts my name across the stalls
Your hand in mine through the noisy street
Fresh arancini, sauce on your cheek
You teach me your slang, that fast soft tone
I mix it with my accent, make it our own
You say, “Guardami,” and time folds slow
Mount Etna glowing like it knows
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Palermo nights, Catania skies
You trace constellations on my arm and sigh
“Promise when the tourists fade away
You’ll still be here when the church bells play”
[crescendo]
We dance in the piazza when the band comes on
Clapping with the crowd, singing off the song
Your laugh cuts through, I only hear that sound
In a world of voices, it’s my home ground
[Chorus]
