Anzoleta before the regatta
Gioacchino Antonio Rossini
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!
