by Leopoldo Tarantini (1811 - 1882)
Translation by Louis-Ernest Crevel de Charlemagne (1806 - 1882), as Napoléon Crevel de Charlemagne

La Promenade en gondole
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Vogue, vogue, ô ma gondole,
L'onde est calme, le ciel est clair ;
Une brise douce et molle
Au loin seule agite l'air !
Vogue, vogue, ô ma gondole,
Vogue, vogue sur la mer !
Vole, vole, vole sur la mer !

Quel delire et quelle ivresse !
Plus d'alarmes, de tristesse !
Au doux charme qui l'oppresse
Livrons notre jeune cœur !

Tout respire la tendresse,
Ne songeons plus qu'au bonheur !
Vogue, vogue, ô ma gondole,
Plus rapide que l'éclair !
Vogue, vogue, vole sur la mer !

Sur le golfe que l'orage
Nous éloigne du rivage,
Je le brave dans sa rage,
Sans trembler et sans pâlir !
Que m'importe le naufrage,
Près de toi s'il faut mourir ?
Sur le golfe que l'orage
Et fougueux a rugir !

Vogue, vogue, ô ma gondole,
Plus rapide que l'éclair !
Vogue, vole sur la mer !
Une brise douce et folle
Au loin seule embaume l'air !
Vogue, vogue sur la mer !
Joyeuse, vole sur la mer, 
Glise et vole sur la mer !
