Ribari [English translation]

Before morning fishermen are awaken,

the sea knows them, the sea knows those people

Before morning in the dawn

out at sea with the seagulls

they are waiting the sun at the posts

Every morning they put up fishing lines

they keep an eye on traps and nets

And the seagulls are waiting

so they'll give them something too

they trust in fishermen

The night is calm, waves are sleeping

Fish are gathering under the light

With nets and tridents

they will catch the fish

as they calm down, as they give up*

In the depths are nets and fishing lines

On the open sea lights are shining

They are rowing quietly towards the shoreward

pushing the small boat

fisherman's hands are too weak*

Before morning tired

fisherman waits for a new day

While everyone is sleeping

seagulls are arguing
