I gondolieri (Anonymous, set by G. Rossini) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Voghiam sull'agil vela,
bello risplende il cielo,
la luna è senza velo,
senza tempesta	il mar.
 
Vogar, posar sul prato;
al gondoliere è dato
fra i beni, il ben maggior. 

Non cal se brilla il sole,
o mesta appar la luna,
ognor sulla laguna
il gondoliere è Re.
