La barcheta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG FRE GRE SPA SPA SPA
La note è bela,
Fa presto, o Nineta,
Andemo in barcheta
I freschi a ciapar!
A Toni g'ho dito
Ch'el felze el ne cava
Per goder sta bava
Che supia dal mar.
Ah!
Che gusto contarsela
Soleti in laguna,
E al chiaro de luna
Sentirse a vogar!
Ti pol de la ventola
Far senza, o mia cara,
Chè zefiri a gara
Te vol sventolar.
Ah!
Se gh'è tra de lori
Chi troppo indiscreto
Volesse da pèto
El velo strapar,
No bada a ste frotole,
Soleti za semo
E Toni el so' remo
Lè a tento a menar.
Ah!

Ī varkoýla
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά) after the Italian (Italiano)
Ī nýchta eínai ómorfī,
Ō Ninétta, viásoy,
As páme stīn varkoýla
Na niṓsoyme to droseró aeráki!
Eípa ston Tóni
Na vgálei tīn ténta
Gia n’ apolaýsoyme aytó to aeráki
Poy fysáei apó tīn thálassa.
A!
Póso eycháristo eínai,
Mónoi stīn limnothálassa
Kai kátō ap’ to fōteinó feggári
Na niṓthoyme to líknisma tīs várkas!
Mporeís na vgáleis to péplo soy,
Ō, agapīménī moy,
Giatí oi zéfyroi paravgaínoyn
Sto poios tha se xeskepásei.
A!
An énas ap’ aytoýs
Me pollī́ adiakrisía,
Tha ī́thele na sīkṓsei
To péplo ap’ to stī́thos soy,
Mīn díneis sīmasía s’ aytá ta mikroprágmata
Eímaste olomónachoi
Kai o Tóni frontízei
Grīgorótera na kōpīlateí.
A!
