Anzoleta co passa la regata

Language: Italian - Venetian (dialect)

I xe qua, i xe qua, vardeli, vardeli,
povereti i ghe da drento,
ah contrario tira el vento,
i gha l'acqua in so favor.

El mio Momolo dov'elo?
ah lo vedo, el xe secondo.
Ah! che smania! me confondo,
a tremar me sento el cuor.

Su, coragio, voga, voga,
prima d'esser al paleto
se ti voghi, ghe scometo,
tutti indrio ti lassarà.

Caro, caro, par che el svola,
el li magna tuti quanti
meza barca l'è andà avanti,
ah capisso, el m'a vardà.


Note: paleto = a pole planted in the Canal Grande, at Santa Chiara's, around which the racers turn to aim at the goal.
