La regata veneziana
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Voga, o Tonio benedeto,
Voga, voga, arranca, arranca:
Beppe el suda el batte l'anca,
Poverazzo el nol pò più.
Caro Beppe el me vecchieto,
No straccarte col te remo;
Za ghe semo, za ghe semo,
Spinze, daghe, voga più.
Ziel pietoso, una novizza
C'ha el so ben nella regada,
Fala, o zielo, consolada,
No la far stentarde più.

Die venezianische Regatta
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Ruder, o guter Tonio
Ruder, ruder, ruder feste,
Beppe schwitzt und schlägt nach Kräften,
armer Kerl, er kann nicht mehr.
Lieber Beppe, mein alter Knabe,
mach nicht schlapp an deinem Ruder;
Wir sind gleich da, wir sind gleich da,
Hau rein, bleib dran, ruder weiter!
Gütiger Himmel, ein junges Mädchen
das seinen Liebsten in der Regatta hat,
tröste sie, o Himmel,
lass sie sich nicht länger quälen.
