Danza, danza, fanciulla, al mio cantar; danza, danza fanciulla gentile, al mio cantar. Gira leggera, sottile al suono, al suono dell'onde del mar. Senti il vago rumore dell'aura scherzosa che parla al core con languido suon, e che invita a danzar senza posa, senza posa, che invita a danzar. Danza, danza, fanciulla gentile, al mio cantar.

Danza, danza, muchacha, con mi canto; danza, danza gentil muchacha, con mi canto. Gira ligera, sutil al sonido, al sonido de las olas del mar. Siente el rumor vago de la brisa burlona que habla al corazón con sonido lánguido, y que invita a danzar sin pausa, sin pausa, que invita a danzar. Danza, danza gentil muchacha, con mi canto.
