Piscatore 'e Pusilleco [English translation]

Fisherman of this sea of Posillipo

You who hears me singing every night,

Fisherman, these words are tears

For Maria who's so far from me.

The sea is sleeping. Row, row!

Everything is peaceful around me.

But why? But why have you left me

While I'm dying for you tonight?

Today be still my heart, for here in Posillipo,

I see a shadow that beckons me,

Her hand and her voice are calling me;

To these arms will Maria return.

The sea is sleeping... Come today oh beauty!...

In the sky the Moon rises and sets...

Love of my life, love of my life, do you love me?

If it's a dream, don't wake me...

The sea is sleeping. Row, row!
