Hai le pupille così grandi e chiare che dentro a quelle si rispecchia amore: o bella, che cammini lungo il mare, sovra la spiaggia canta un pescatore. Un pescatore canta e se ne muore e tu cammini e non ti vuoi fermare: sorge la luna bianca come un fiore, e il pescatore canta, dorme il mare, e dorme il mare! O bella, il cuor mio tutto era d'oro e l'ho smarrito in una dolce sera; v'erano tutte le sirene in coro e il pescatore canta, ma chi la ritrovò, bella, non c'era! E il pescatore canta: amore, amore, m'hai preso il cuore e non ti vuoi fermare! Sorge la luna bianca come un fiore e il pescatore canta e dorme il mare. Ah!... Ah!...

Tienes las pupilas tan grandes y claras que dentro de ellas se refleja el amor. ¡Oh, bella que caminas a la orilla del mar, en la playa canta un pescador! Un pescador canta y se muere ¡Y tú caminas y no te quieres parar! Sale la luna blanca como una flor ¡y el pescador canta, y duerme el mar! ¡Oh bella, mi corazón era todo de oro y lo he perdido en una dulce tarde; todas las sirenas hacían coro y el pescador canta, ¡pero el que la encontró, bella, no estaba! Y el pescador canta: ¡amor, amor, me has robado el corazón y no te quieres parar! Sale la luna blanca como una flor ¡y el pescador canta y duerme el mar! ¡Ah, canta el pescador!
