Là su la machina xe la bandiera, varda, la vedistu, vala a ciapar. Co quela tornime in qua sta sera, o pur a sconderte ti pol andar. In pope, Momolo, no te incantar. Va, voga d'anema la gondoleta, né el primo premio te pol mancar. Va là, recordite la to Anzoleta che da sto pergolo te sta a vardar. In pope, Momolo, no te incantar. In pope, Momolo, cori a svolar.

There on the "machina" is the flag, look, can you see it?, go for it! Come back with it tonight or else you can run away and hide. Once in the boat, Momolo, don't gawp! Row the gondola with heart and soul, then you cannot help but win the first prize. Go, think of your Anzoleta, who's whatching you from this balcony. Once in the boat, Momolo, don't gawp! Once in the boat, Momolo, fly!

They're coming, they're coming, look, look at them, the poor things!, they row hard! ah, the wind is against them, but the tide is running their way. My Momolo, where is he? ah! I see him, he's the second, Ah! I'm in a fidget! I get confused, I feel my heart trembling. Come on, row!, row!, before you reach the pole, if you keep on rowing, I'll lay a bet you'll leave all the others behind. Dear boy, he seems to be flying, he's beating the others hollow, he's gone half a length ahead, ah, I understand: he looked at me.

Have a kiss!, another one!, dear Momolo, from my heart; rest here, for it's high time to dry this sweat. Ah, I saw you when, as passing, you threw a glance at me and I said, breathing again: he's going to win a good prize, indeed, the prize of this flag, that is the red one; the whole Venice spoke: she declared you the winner. Have a kiss, God bless you!, no one rows better than you, of all the breeds of gondoliers you're the best.
