O Fischer auf den Wogen Fidelin, Rudre zum Fischen her! Mit der Barke, mit der schönen Fährt der Fischer übers Meer. Fidelin, lin, la. Was soll ich Euch denn fischen? Fidelin, Mein Ringlein fiel ins Meer. Mit der Barke, mit der schönen Fährt der Fischer übers Meer. Fidelin, lin, la. Ich gebe dir hundert Scudi Fidelin, Und diese Börse schwer; Mit der Barke, mit der schönen Fährt der Fischer übers Meer. Fidelin, lin, la. Ich mag nicht hundert Scudi, Fidelin, Noch Eure Börse schwer; Mit der Barke, mit der schönen Fährt der Fischer übers Meer. Fidelin, lin, la. Nur einen Kuß der Liebe Fidelin, Nur das ist mein Begehr. Mit der Barke, mit der schönen Fährt der Fischer übers Meer. Fidelin, lin, la.

Oh fisherman upon the waves, Fidelin, Row over here to fish! With his barque, his beautiful barque The fisherman travels over the sea. Fidelin, lin, la. What I am to fish up for you? Fidelin, My ring fell into the sea. With his barque, his beautiful barque The fisherman travels over the sea. Fidelin, lin, la. I shall give you a hundred scudi, Fidelin, And this heavy pouch; With his barque, his beautiful barque The fisherman travels over the sea. Fidelin, lin, la. I do not want a hundred scudi, Fidelin, Or your heavy pouch; With his barque, his beautiful barque The fisherman travels over the sea. Fidelin, lin, la. Only one kiss of love, Fidelin, That is my sole desire. With his barque, his beautiful barque The fisherman travels over the sea. Fidelin, lin, la.
