Su'l mar la navicella (Pagliara, set by G. Martucci) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 Su'l mar la navicella,
 vaga conchiglia nera,
 fuggía, leggera e snella,
 per la tranquilla sera.
 parea, come sospinta
 da l'ala de'l disío,
 e l'anima era vinta
 da un infinito oblío.
 Su'l nostro capo'l volo de li alcioni
 e l'aleggiar de le brezze serene;
 e mormoravan languide canzoni,
 a' flutti in sen, fantastiche sirene.
 Più vivo, in ogni stella,
 c'era un folgore arcano:
 fuggía la navicella,
 su'l mar, lontan, lontano...
