from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

La pesca dell'anello
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ell'eran tre sorelle, 
e tutt' e tre d'amò'
Rosetta, la più bella,
si mise a naviga'.
Nel navigar che fece,
l'anello gli cascò.
- O pescator dell'onde,
vieni a pescar più qua!
Pescami lo mio anello,
che m'è cascato in mar.
- Quando l'avrò pescato,
cosa mi vuoi donà'?
- Cento zecchini d'oro,
'na borsa recamà.
- Non vo' tanti zecchini,
né borsa recamà'.
Solo un bacin d'amore,
se tu me lo vo' da'.
- Cosa dirà la gente
che ci vedrà baciar?
- Dirà che l'è l'amore,
che ce l'ha fatto fa'!
