"Marenariello" is a Neapolitan song written in 1893 by Gennaro Ottaviano (words) and Salvatore Gambardella (music). [1] American singer Perry Como included this song in his album Perry Como in Italy in 1966.
The song was adapted into the English language hit "I Have But One Heart" [2] and was sung by Andrea Bocelli on his first classical album Viaggio Italiano released in 1997. A Dutch version, "Het vissermeisje", was a hit in the 1930s for Joseph Schmidt. [3]
Oje né, fa' priesto viene!
nun mme fá spantecá...
ca pure 'a rezza vène
ch'a mare stó' a mená...
Méh, stienne sti bbraccelle,
ajutame a tirá...
ca stu marenariello
te vò sempe abbracciá.
Vicin'ô mare,
facimmo 'ammore,
a core a core,
pe' nce spassá...
Só marenaro
e tiro 'a rezza:
ma, p'allerezza,
stóngo a murí...
Vide ca sbatte ll'onna
comm'a stu core ccá;
de lacreme te 'nfonne
ca 'o faje annammurá...
Viene, 'nterr'a 'sta rena
nce avimm'a recrijá;
che scenne la serena...
io po' stóngo a cantá.
Vicin'ô mare,
Oje né, io tiro 'a rezza
e tu statte a guardá...
li pisce, p'a prijezza,
comme stanno a zumpá!...
E vide, pure 'e stelle
tu faje annammurá...
ca stu marenariello,
tu faje suspirá...
Vicin'ô mare,
