Bologna Lyrics in English Wanda

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bologna by Wanda from German to English.
I definitely can't sleep with my cousin
Even though I'd like to, but I don't dare
I definitely can't talk to my cousin
Even though I'd like to, but I don't dare
Aunt Ceccarelli made Amore in Bologna!
Amore, my city!
Aunt Ceccarelli once had Amore in Bologna!
Bologna, my city!
I definitely can't talk to my cousin
Even though we'd like to, but we don't dare
I definitely can't dance with my cousin
Even though she'd like to, but she doesn't dare
Aunt Ceccarelli made Amore in Bologna!
Amore, my city!
Aunt Ceccarelli once had Amore in Bologna!
And remember one thing well
If someone asks where you're going
Say to Bologna!
If someone asks what you stand for
Say for Amore, Amore!
If someone asks where you're going
Say to Bologna!
If someone asks what you stand for
Say for Amore, Amore!
Aunt Ceccarelli made Amore in Bologna!
Amore, my city!
Aunt Ceccarelli once had Amore in Bologna!
Bologna, my city!
Aunt Ceccarelli made Amore in Bologna!
Amore, my city!
Aunt Ceccarelli once had Amore in Bologna!
Bologna, my city!
Bologna, my city
Bologna, my city!

SONG MEANING

Wanda’s “Bologna” is a cheeky love-anthem that mixes taboo humor with a dash of Italian romance. The narrator keeps confessing that he would like to flirt, dance, and even sleep with his cousin, yet he never quite finds the courage. Instead, he daydreams about Aunt Ceccarelli, who once “made Amore” in the vibrant city of Bologna. Her legendary escapade turns the city into a symbol of unrestrained passion, freedom, and sunny Southern flair—everything the shy narrator feels he is missing.

When the chorus urges, “If someone asks where you’re going, say to Bologna! If someone asks what you stand for, say for Amore!” the song becomes a playful rallying cry: escape your inhibitions, chase your desires, and let love be your guiding motto. Driven by a jangly guitar and sing-along hook, “Bologna” captures that heady mix of awkward longing and carefree rebellion, reminding us that sometimes the best answer to life’s big questions is simply “Bologna—and Amore!”
