Where does time go…5 years has passed since I first requested information about this song on July 27, 2003!

Here are the lyrics from YouTube. You Italian linguists might want to add your English translation for comparison, if there are major differences. Thanks.


Traditional Neapolitan song (Come to the Sea). Digitally remastered.

English Translation:

Wake up, girl! The moon
spreads its shining ray on the sea
Come with me.
Your sailor's
dark faithful boat awaits you.

But you sleep and you
don't think of your faithful man.
But those who live for love don't sleep!
At night I fly to you on the shore,
And in the day I fly to you with my heart!

Come out on the sea,
Come rowing with me,
You will feel your sailor's ecstasy!
