Anzoleta dopo la regata
Language: Italian - Venetian (dialect)
Ciapa un baso, un altro ancora,
caro Momolo, de cuor;
qua destrachite che xe ora
de sugarte sto sudor.
Ah t'o visto co passando
su mi l'ocio ti a butà
e go dito respirando:
un bel premio el ciaparà,
sì, un bel premio in sta bandiera,
che xe rossa de color;
gha parlà Venezia intiera,
la t'a dito vincitor.
Ciapa un baso, benedeto,
a vogar nissun te pol,
[de casada, de tragheto]1
ti xe el megio barcarol.

Anzoleta after the regatta
Language: English after the Italian - Venetian (dialect)
Have a kiss!, another one!,
dear Momolo, from my heart;
rest here, for it's high time
to dry this sweat.
Ah, I saw you when, as passing,
you threw a glance at me
and I said, breathing again:
he's going to win a good prize,
indeed, the prize of this flag,
that is the red one;
the whole Venice spoke:
she declared you the winner.
Have a kiss, God bless you!,
no one rows better than you,
of all the breeds of gondoliers
you're the best.
