by Achille de Lauzières-Thémines (1818? - 1894)

Santa Lucia
Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
Comme se fricceca 
la luna chiena!
lo mare ride, 
l'aria è serena:
vuie che facite, 
mmiez'a la via?
Santa Lucia! 
Santa Lucia!

Sto viento frisco
Fa resciatare
Chi vo spassarese
Jenno ppe mmare:
È pronta,e lesta
La varca mia.
Santa Lucia!
Santa Lucia!

La tenna è pposta
Ppe ffa na cena;
E qùanno stace
La panza ehiena, 
No nc' è la minema
Melanconìa
Santa Lucia!
Santa Lucia!

Quanno sse nfuria
Na gran tempesta,
Lo marenaro
Tanno se mpesta,
Ca ppe ppescare
Vo carmaria.
Santa Lucia! 
Santa Lucia!

Napole bello
D'ogne stagione,
Tu addecreare
Faie le ppersone;
E susce a l'anema
Spasso, e allegria.
Santa Lucia!
Santa Lucia!

Ma fora chiacchiere
Già l'ora avanza;
Olà mmarcateve
P'enghì la panza:
Pozzo accostare
La varca mia?
Santa Lucia!
Santa Lucia!
