Arápete fenesta! Famme affacciá a Maria, ca stóngo 'mmiez' 'a via... speruto d' 'a vedé. Nun trovo n'ora 'e pace: 'a notte 'a faccio juorno, sempe pe' sta ccá attuorno, speranno 'e ce parlá! Oje Mari', oje Mari', quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te! Famme addurmí, abbracciato nu poco cu te! etc. 'Mmiez'a stu ciardeniello, ce ride 'a malvarosa... Nu lietto 'e fronne 'e rosa aggio fatto pe' te... Viene che 'a notte è doce, 'o cielo ch'è nu manto... Tu duorme e io te canto 'a nonna a fianco a te... Oje Marí', oje Marí', etc. Pare ca giá s'arape na sénga 'e fenestella... Maria cu 'a manella, nu segno a me mme fa! Sòna chitarra mia! Maria s'è scetata!... Na scicca serenata, facímmola sentí: Oje Marí', oje Marí', etc.

Avaudu, ikkuna, anna minun nähdä Maria, seison tässä ja tärkeintä elämässä on, että haluan nähdä hänet. En löydä hetkenkään rauhaa; yöllä enkä päivällä, minä vain seison tässä lähellä toivoen, että hän puhuisi minulle! Ah, Maria, Marì... Nämä sävelet kertovat, miten sinua kaipaan; tahtoisin nukkua sinun syleilyssäsi aivan lähelläsi! Keskelllä pientä puutarhaasi nauraa malvaruusu, morsiusvuoteen haluaisin sinulle valmistaa. Tule, yö on suloinen, taivas kuin tumma vaippa... sinä nukut ja minä laulan sinulle, omistan laulun suloiselle pikkuiselle. Ah, Maria, Marì... Taitaa jo aueta; ikkunasta vilahtaa näkyville Marian käsi, joka vilkuttaa minulle! Soi, kitarani! Maria on herännyt... hienon serenadin tahdon laulaa tunteeni kohteelle. Ah, Maria, Marì...
