La note è bela, Fa presto, o Nineta, Andemo in barcheta I freschi a ciapar! A Toni g'ho dito Ch'el felze el ne cava Per goder sta bava Che supia dal mar. Ah! Che gusto contarsela Soleti in laguna, E al chiaro de luna Sentirse a vogar! Ti pol de la ventola Far senza, o mia cara, Chè zefiri a gara Te vol sventolar. Ah! Se gh'è tra de lori Chi troppo indiscreto Volesse da pèto El velo strapar, No bada a ste frotole, Soleti za semo E Toni el so' remo Lè a tento a menar. Ah!

La noche es bella. de prisa, oh Nineta, Vayamos en la barquita El fresco a tomar! A Toni le he dicho Que reme a la cueva a disfrutar la brisilla Que llega del mar... ¡Ah! Qué gusto contarla solitos en la laguna, y al claro de luna, sentarse a remar; te puedes del viento alejar, querida, que los vientos de cara te quieren despeinar. ¡Ah! Si alguno de entre ellos que es muy indiscreto quisiera en tu pecho el velo rasgar, olvida sus trampas, Solitos estaremos, Y Toni y su remo atento a vadear. ¡Ah!
