Vo' fa' 'na palazzina alla marina
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Vo' fa', na palazzina alla marina... E le finestre alle bande del mare, E dentro ci vo'star sera e mattina Avede' lo mio amore navigare. E vo'vedè' chi gli porge la vela: L'arte dell'amor mio la nave mena; E vo'vedè' chi gli porge la stanga: L'arte dell'amor mio la nave manda; E vo'veder chi gli manda il timone: L'arte dell'amor mio fa il pescatore.

Ein Schlößchen möcht' ich bau'n am Meeresstrande
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Ein Schlößchen möcht' ich bau'n am Meeresstrande, All' seine Fenster, sein Erker zur Brandung! Und drinnen sitz' ich dann, morgens und abends, Möcht' meinen Schatz durch Wind und Wogen segeln sehen! Und möchte seh'n, wer hißt seine Segel... Wohl weiß mein Liebster seine Bark' zu führen! Und möchte seh'n, wer brasst seine Rahen... Wohl weiß mein Liebster seine Brigg zu lotsen! Und möchte seh'n, wer so fest führet sein Steuer Wohl weiß mein Liebster tief sein Netz zu senken!
