Gondolier du Rialto
Mon château
C'est la lagune,
Mon jardin c'est le Lido.
Mon rideau,
Le clair de lune.
Gondolier du grand canal,
Pour fanal
J'ai la croisée
Où s'allument tous les soirs,
Tes yeux noirs,
Mon épousée.
Ma gondole est aux heureux :
Deux à deux,
Je la promène,
Et les vents légers et frais
Sont discrets
Sur mon domaine.
J'ai passé dans les amours,
Plus de jours
Et de nuits folles,
Que Venise n'a d'îlots
Que ses flots
N'ont de gondoles.

Barcarola
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the French (Français)
Gondoler del Rialto
el meu castell
és la llacuna,
el meu jardí és el Lido.
El meu cortinatge
el clar de lluna.
Gondoler del gran canal,
com fanal
tinc la cruïlla
on tots els vespres s’encenen
els teus ulls negres,
oh núvia meva.
La meva góndola és per als feliços:
dos a dos,
jo els passejo,
i els vents, lleugers i frescos,
són discrets
al meu domini.
En els meus amors he passat
més dies
i més nits boges
que illots hi ha a Venècia
i que góndoles naveguen
a les seves aigües.
