by Raffaele Petrosemolo

Ohè! Mammà!
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Allor che il guardo languido
  Su me posò un istante
  Io ne divenni amante,
  Ohè! mammà, ohè! mammà,

E quando alfin richiedere
  Ardì tremando amore
  Gli avea già dato il core
  Ohè! mammà, ohè!

Inerti i remi giacquero
  Nel fondo del battello
  Il sogno era sì bello
  Ohè! mammà, ohè! mammà,

La luna in nube argentea
  Il disco suo celava
  La barca camminava
  Ohè! mammà, ohè!

Spandeva amor l'oceano
  Amor spandeva il cielo
  Mi tolse gli occhi un velo
  Ohè! mammà, ohè! mammà,

Oh! qual incanto etereo
  Oh! qual vision beata
  Ahimè ch'io son destata
  Ohè! mammà, ohè!
