Last night I dreamed again that I was by your side
I felt your tender kiss and with your lips on mine
My world became complete again
Beneath the shadow of the mountain
We were lovers 'til the dawn was on the sea

But with the morning sun the dream had disappeared
And I awoke and still believed that you were here
But soon the day will come again
Beneath the shadow of the mountain
I'll be with you when my soldier's work is done

When the summer winds begin to blow
That is when I will be sailing to my home
To the olive trees and the golden corn
That whispers in the fields up in the hills 
Beyond the place where I was born

And here in Rome the talk is all about the war
As men of Caesar we have heard those words before
And though I'm strong, my heart belongs
Beneath the shadow of the mountain 
And my lover who is waiting there for me

When the summer winds begin to blow
That is when you'll see the sails that bring me home
To the olive trees and the golden corn
That whispers in the fields up in the hills 
Above Pompeii where I was born

I will return
Beneath the shadow of Vesuvius 
We'll be together 'til the day we die

Last night I dreamed again that I was by your side
