Lyrics

Partono 'e bastimente
Pe' terre assaje luntane…
Cántano a buordo:
Só' Napulitane!
Cantano pe' tramente
'o golfo giá scumpare,
E 'a luna, 'a miez'ô mare,
Nu poco 'e Napule
Lle fa vedé…
Santa Lucia!
Luntano 'a te,
Quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
Se va a cercá furtuna…
Ma, quanno sponta 'a luna,
Luntano 'a Napule
Nun se pò stá!
Santa Lucia, tu tiene
Sulo nu poco 'e mare…
Ma, cchiù luntana staje,
Cchiù bella pare…
E' 'o canto de Ssirene
Ca tesse ancora 'e rrezze!
Core nun vò' ricchezze:
Si è nato a Napule,
Ce vò' murí!
Quanta malincunia!

Lyrics translation

Depart ' and bastimente
On ' terre assaje luntane…
Cantano a buordo:
Just ' Napulitane!
They sing pe ' tramente
'the Gulf is already expensive,
It's on the moon, in the middle of the sea,
Nu poco ' e Napule
Lle FA vedé…
Saint Lucia!
Luntano ' to you,
What a mess!
If it turns ' O munno sano,
It's going to storm fence…
But, when the moon rises,
Luntano ' a Napule
No way!
Saint Lucia, you have
Sulo NU poco ' e mare…
But, just stay here.,
How beautiful it looks…
It's the song of Ssirene
We still weave and retrace!
Core nun Vò ' riches:
He was born in Napule,
You're gonna die!
What a mess!
