Il Gondoliere
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ecco l'ora, bruno è il cielo,
tutto dorme, o giovinetta;
scendi, scendi, ove t'aspetta
il fedele golndolier.

Te trarrà lontano
l'agil barca sovra l'onda,
fin che l'eco della sponda
più non giunga al gondolier.

Ed allor sostando il remo
ti dirà quant' ore ha spese
nel desio di che l'accese
l'amoroso gondolier.

La vedeva, nome e stato,
simulava per lei sola,
e un sorriso, una parola
sol le chiede il gondolier.

Non temere, testimoni
non hai tu che il ciel e l'onda,
muto l'eco della sponda
più non giunge al gondolier.
