Giura il nocchier che al mare
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FIN GER
Giura il nocchier che al mare
non presterà più fede,
ma se tranquillo il vede
corre di nuovo al mar.
Di non trattar più l'armi
giura il guerrier tal volta,
ma se una tromba ascolta,
già non si sa frenar.

Es schwört der Steuermann, dass der See
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Es schwört der Steuermann, dass der See
er keineswegs mehr traut -
doch wenn er sie wieder friedlich schaut,
sticht er aufs Neu in See.
Nicht mehr zu rühr’n an Waffen,
das schwört im Augenblick der Krieger -
doch hört er die Trompete wieder,
zieht er aufs Neu ins Feld.
