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.

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.
