Danza, danza, fanciulla, al mio cantar; danza, danza fanciulla gentile, al mio cantar. Gira leggera, sottile al suono, al suono dell'onde del mar. Senti il vago rumore dell'aura scherzosa che parla al core con languido suon, e che invita a danzar senza posa, senza posa, che invita a danzar. Danza, danza, fanciulla gentile, al mio cantar.

Dança, menina graciosa, Ao meu cantar! Gira, leve, esbelta Ao som das ondas do mar! Ouve o vago rumor Da brisa brincalhona, Que fala ao coração Com lânguido som E que convida à dança À beira do mar! Dança, menina graciosa, Ao meu cantar!
