Paroles et traduction Salvatore Gambardella - O marenariello

O marenariello

Oje né, fa' priesto viene!
Nun mme fá spantecá...
Ca pure 'a rezza vène
Ch'a mare stó' a mená...

Méh, stienne sti bbraccelle,
Ajutame a tirá...
Ca stu marenariello
Te vò sempe abbracciá.

Vicin'ô mare,
Facimmo 'ammore,
A core a core,
Pe' nce spassá...

Só marenaro
E tiro 'a rezza:
Ma, pallerezza,
Stóngo a murí...

Vide ca sbatte ll'onna
Comm'a stu core ccá;
De lacreme te 'nfonne
Ca 'o faje annammurá...

Viene, 'nterr'a 'sta rena
Nce avimma recrijá;
Che scenne la serena...
Io po' stóngo a cantá.

Vicin'ô mare,

Oje né, io tiro 'a rezza
E tu statte a guardá...
Li pisce, pa prijezza,
Comme stanno a zumpá!...

E vide, pure 'e stelle
Tu faje annammurá...
Ca stu marenariello,
Tu faje suspirá...

Vicin'ô mare,

O marenariello

Oh, my darling, come quickly!
Don't make me wait...
For even the net comes
When the sea is rising...

My love, stretch out your arms,
Help me pull...
For this little sailor
Always wants to hold you close.

Near the sea,
Let's make love,
Heart to heart,
To please ourselves...

I'm a sailor
And I pull the net:
But, my dear,
I'm about to die...

See how the waves crash
Like this heart of mine;
With tears, you flood me
And make me fall in love...

Come, let's lie on this sand
And enjoy ourselves;
For the moon is rising...
Then I'll start singing.

Near the sea,

Oh, my darling, I'll pull the net
And you just watch...
The fish, in their joy,
How they jump!...

And look, even the stars
Make you fall in love...
For this little sailor,
You make me sigh...

Near the sea,
