Refrain

Palermo, Palermo
Palermo, Palermo

Verse 1

She sits at the sea like lioness
A wise woman in a sapphire dress
Her eyes flash brightly in the blinding sun
You’ll fall in love in an instant or you’ll want to run

Verse 2

You are welcome to enter her ancient streets
Where Greeks, Normans, Arabs, and Spanish meet
She’s exotic, chaotic, dusty, and solemn
She’s sought by many, yet only conquered by some

Refrain

Palermo, Palermo
Palermo, Palermo

Verse 3

With pink flowers in her hair, pinned by golden barrettes
She sings for her future, but never forgets
Her sons have betrayed her, one by one
Despite them she sits proudly, never outdone

Refrain

Palermo, Palermo
Palermo, Palermo

Solo

She sits at the sea like lioness
A wise woman in a sapphire dress
Her eyes flash brightly in the blinding sun
You’ll fall in love in an instant or you’ll want to run
