La ra, la ra, la ra, Volimmo pazzià!
Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
Lu vì, lu vì lu viento 
Che scioscia, scioscia appena;
La bella Luna chiena
Che luce che stà a fa!

Co li strumenti a poppa 
Cantanno in allegria,
Vicino a Nenna mia
Io voglio sempe stà!
La ra, la ra, la ra, Volimmo pazzià!

Tra tra fa la Chitarra,
Zù zù fa lu Violino,
Drin drin lu Mandolino
Tu sentarraje sonà!

E doppe varchiato
Pe tutta la marina,
abba scio Morveglina
Vulimmo nuje scialà!

Ascolta ascolta il vento
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
Ascolta ascolta il vento
Che soffia soffia appena;
La bella Luna piena
Che luce in ciel che fa!

Co li strumenti a poppa
Cantanto in allegria,
Vicino a Nina mia
Io voglio sempre star!
La ra, la ra, la ra, vogliam cantar!

Tra tra fa la Chitarra
Zù zù farà il Violino;
Drin drin fa il Mandolino
Tu sentirai suonar!

E dopo aver vogato
Per tutta la marina,
Inriva a Mergellina
Vogliamo riposar.
