Partono 'e bastimente
pe' terre assaje luntane...
cántano a buordo:
só' Napulitane!
Cantano pe' tramente
'o golfo giá scumpare,
e 'a luna, 'a miez'ô mare,
nu poco 'e Napule
lle fa vedé...
Santa Lucia!
Luntano 'a te,
quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
se va a cercá furtuna...
ma, quanno sponta 'a luna,
luntano 'a Napule
nun se pò stá!
E sonano...Ma 'e mmane
Tremmano n'copp' 'e corde...
Quanta ricorde, ahimè,
Quanta ricorde!
E 'o core nun 'o sane
Nemmeno cu 'e canzone,
Sentenno voce e suone,
Se mette a chiagnere ca vo' turna'!
Santa Lucia,
Luntana 'a te
Quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
Se va a cerca' furtuna,
Ma quanno sponta 'a luna
Luntana a Napule nun se po' sta!
Santa Lucia, tu tiene
sulo nu poco 'e mare...
ma, cchiù luntana staje,
cchiù bella pare...
E' 'o canto d''e Ssirene
ca tesse ancora 'e rrezze!
Core nun vò' ricchezze:
si è nato a Napule,
ce vò' murí!
Santa Lucia!
Luntano 'a te,
quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
se va a cercá furtuna...
ma, quanno sponta 'a luna,
luntano 'a Napule
nun se pò stá!
Santa Lucia,
Luntano 'a te,
quanta malincunia!
