Oh no, hurry up, come!Oje né', fa' priesto viene!
Don't scare me...nun mme fá spantecá...

that the sea is dragging...ch'a mare stó' a mená...

Hey, hold these ropes,Méh, stienne sti bbraccelle,
help me pull...ajutame a tirá...
because this sailorca stu marenariello
wants to hug you always.te vò' sempe abbracciá.

Close to the sea,Vicin'ô mare,
let's make love,facimmo 'ammore,
heart to heart,a core a core,
to have fun...pe' nce spassá...

I'm a sailorSó' marenaro
and I pull the net:e tiro 'a rezza:
but, for happiness,ma, p''allerezza,
I'm dying...stóngo a murí...

See how the wave hitsVide ca sbatte ll'onna
like this heart here;comm'a stu core ccá;
with tears it sinks youde lacreme te 'nfonne
that makes you fall in love...ca 'o faje annammurá...

Come, among this sandViene, 'nterr'a 'sta rena
we have to rest;nce avimm''a recrijá;
the serene night falls...che scenne la serena...
I can start singing.io po' stóngo a cantá.

Close to the sea,Vicin'ô mare,
let's make love,facimmo 'ammore,
heart to heart,a core a core,
to have fun...pe' nce spassá...
