I gondolieri
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): GER
Voghiam sull'agil vela, bello risplende il cielo, la luna è senza velo, senza tempesta il mar. Vogar, posar sul prato; al gondoliere è dato fra i beni, il ben maggior. Non cal se brilla il sole, o mesta appar la luna, ognor sulla laguna il gondoliere è Re.
