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!
