what's the name of the italian song Venetian gondoliers singing as they row in the canals?
Here are what I believe to be lyrics to part of the song:
i ma de lucia
las do da centro
la di da lunga
...
it isn't a venetian song
only in films and cartoons gondoliers sing it
it is from neapolis
Sul mare luccica (Santa Lucia)
Sul mare luccica
l'astro d'argento.
Placida è l'onda;
prospero è il vento.
Venite all'agile
Barchetta mia!
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia
Con questo zeffiro
così soave,
oh! com'è bello
star sulla nave!
Su passeggeri
venite via!
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia.
In' fra le tende
bandir la cena,
in una sera
così serena.
Chi non dimanda,
chi non desia;
Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!
Mare sì placido,
vento sì caro,
scordar fa i triboli
al marinaro.
E va gridando
con allegria:
Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!
O dolce Napoli,
O suol beato,
Ove sorridere,
Dove il creato,
Tu sei l'impero
Del armonia,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!
Or che tardate,
bella è la sera.
Spira un auretta
fresca e leggiera.
Venite all'agile
barchetta mia!
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia.
