Lyrics

Ah, che bei foulard
a coprire le guance
belle signore che in piedi si sta
belle signore del ponte-lance
a vedere la Francia
che se ne va.
C’est un petite chanson
sur le temps qui passe
et le temps qu’on passe
a courir la mer
le capitaine est un brave homme d’içi
il a de bon marins
qui viennent d’Italie.
E noi marinai…
Noi marinai, noi non siamo mai stanchi
partiamo a vent’anni
e non torniamo più
e voi belle a guardarci i fianchi
e intanto l’ormeggio
giàcade giù.
C’est un petite chanson
sur le gens qui passent
et le temps qu’on passent
a courir l’amour
le capitaine est un brave homme d’içi
il a de bon marins
qui viennent d’Italie.

Lyrics translation

Ah, what a beautiful scarf
to cover the cheeks
beautiful ladies standing you are
beautiful ladies of the bridge-lance
to see France
he's leaving.
It's a little song
on the passing time
and the time we spend
to run the sea
the captain is a good man here
he has good sailors
who come from Italy.
And we sailors…
We sailors, we are never tired
we start at twenty
and we're never coming back
and you belle looking at our hips
and meanwhile the mooring
already down.
It's a little song
on the people who pass
and the time we spend
to run Love
the captain is a good man here
he has good sailors
who come from Italy.
