| BARCAROLA | BARCAROLLE |

Pela ribeira do rio cantando ia la dona virgo d'amor: venhan as barcas pelo rio a sabor. Pela ribeira do alto cantando ia la dona d'algo d' amor: venhan as barcas pelo rio a sabor. |
Along the bank of the river a noble young lady went by, singing of love: so let the ships come down the river as they do. Above the bank of the river a wealthy young lady went by, singing of love: so let the ships come down the river as they do. |
