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.

Danse, danse, jeune fille, sur mon chant, danse, danse, gentille jeune fille, sur mon chant. Tourne, légère, délicate, au son des vagues de la mer. Ecoute le charmant bruit de la brise plaisante, qui parle au cœur avec une musique langoureuse, Et qui t'invite à danser sans répit, sans répit, qui t'invite à danser. Danse, danse, jeune fille, sur mon chant.
