La note è bela,
Fa presto, o Nineta,
Andemo in barcheta
I freschi a ciapar!
A Toni g'ho dito
Ch'el felze el ne cava
Per goder sta bava
Che supia dal mar.
Ah!
Che gusto contarsela
Soleti in laguna,
E al chiaro de luna
Sentirse a vogar!
Ti pol de la ventola
Far senza, o mia cara,
Chè zefiri a gara
Te vol sventolar.
Ah!
Se gh'è tra de lori
Chi troppo indiscreto
Volesse da pèto
El velo strapar,
No bada a ste frotole,
Soleti za semo
E Toni el so' remo
Lè a tento a menar.
Ah!

La barquita
Language: Spanish (Español) after the Italian (Italiano)
La noche es bella.
Date prisa, o Nineta,
Vamos en la barquita
El fresco a disfrutar!
A Toni le he dicho
Que reme hasta la cueva
Para disfrutar la brisa
Que sopla del mar...
¡Ah! Qué éxtasis narrarla
solitos en la laguna,
y al claro de luna,
sentarse a remar;
puedes echarte al viento
sin hacer nada querida mía,
que los vientos
te quieren refrescar.
¡Ah! Si de entre ellos
alguno demasiado indiscreto
quisiera de tu pecho
el velo destapar,
No pienses en su patrañería,
Solitos estaremos,
Y Toni y su remo
Atento a remar.
¡Ah!
