Our translations: ENG
Voli l'agile barchetta voga, voga marinar or ch'Elvira mia diletta a me in braccio sfida il mar. Brilla in calma la laguna una vela non appar palli detta e in ciel la luna tutto in vita a sospirar. Voga, voga marinar... Se ad un bacio amor t'invita non temer mio bel tesor tu saprai che sia la vita sol nel bacio del amor. Ma già un zeffiro sereno dolce ondeggia il mar... vieni Elvira a questo sen' vieni e apprendi a palpitar! Voga, voga marinar...
