Ho visto la Sirena in mezzo al mare

Language: Italian

 Ho visto la Sirena in mezzo al mare;
 Sur uno scoglio gran pianto faceva:
 I pesci gli faceva addolorare
 Dalle triste parole che diceva:
 E disse, "Figlio non t'innamorare!
 Chi s'innamora soffre una gran pena,
 Chi s'innamora, in una fiamma ardente,
 Fa cento morti il giorno e vive sempre!"
 Ho visto tanti pesci stare in pianto...
 Pensa: che farò io, che t'amo tanto!
