“La Regata Veneziana”
“Voga, o Tonio benedetto”
Versi del Conte Carlo Pepoli (1796 – 1881)

Voga, o Tonio benedeto,
Voga, voga, arranca, arranca:
Beppe el suda el batte l’anca,
Poverazzo el nol pò più.

Caro Beppe el me vecchieto,
No straccarte col te remo;
Za ghe semo, za ghe semo,
Spinze, daghe, voga più.

Ziel pietoso, una novizza
C’ha el so ben nella regada,
Fala, o zielo, consolada,
No la far stentarde più.

“The Venetian regatta”
“Row, you blessed Tony”
Lyrics by Count Carlo Pepoli (1796 – 1881)

Row, you blessed Tony,
row, row, pull away:
Beppe is sweating away at his oar,
poor fellow, he can’t go on.

Dear Beppe, my old friend,
don’t let your oar tire you;
now we’re there, now we’re there,
heave away, keep at it, row on!

Heaven have mercy on a young girl
who has a lover in the regatta.
Give her, o heaven, some comfort;
don’t keep her on tenterhooks.
