Text of the song
Oje né, fa' priesto viene!
nun mme fá spantecá...
ca pure 'a rezza vène
ch'a mare stó' a mená...
Méh, stienne sti bbraccelle,
ajutame a tirá...
ca stu marenariello
te vò sempe abbracciá.
Vicin'ô mare,
facimmo 'ammore,
a core a core,
pe' nce spassá...
Só marenaro
e tiro 'a rezza:
ma, pallerezza,
stóngo a murí...
Vide ca sbatte ll'onna
comm'a stu core ccá;
de lacreme te 'nfonne
ca 'o faje annammurá...
Viene, 'nterr'a 'sta rena
nce avimma recrijá;
che scenne la serena...
io po' stóngo a cantá.
Vicin'ô mare,
Oje né, io tiro 'a rezza
e tu statte a guardá...
li pisce, pa prijezza,
comme stanno a zumpá!...
E vide, pure 'e stelle
tu faje annammurá...
ca stu marenariello,
tu faje suspirá...
Vicin'ô mare,
