'A primma vota ca me spusaie
nu navigante io me pigliaie
p''o primmo viaggio io me 'mbarcaie
e nfri nfro nfra
E quanno 'a nave trasette 'mpuorto
Maritu mio mò stance accuorto
ma 'a sera stessa
'e vvele acalaie
a poppa tuzzaie
po' s'affunnaie c''o nfri nfro nfra...
'A siconda vota ca me spusaie
cu nu surdato io m'attaccaie
e a ffa' la guerra po' me 'mparaie
e nfri nfro nfra
Ma 'a primma notte d''o serra serra
Maritu mio che ffaie 'nguerra
Apprimma avanzaie
po' se ritiraie
'a bannera acalaie
perdette 'a guerra e cchiù nun turnaie
e nfri nfro nfra...
E 'a quinta vota ca me spusaie
de nu mariuolo me 'nnammuraie
ca 'a chiava faveza me rialaie
e nfri nfro nfra
Ma tutt''e notte pe' dint''o scuro
vuleva rompere 'a mascatura
Io l'avvisaie
ma isso furzaie
po' jastemmaie
e 'a chiava faveza se spezzaie
e nfri nfro nfra...
E 'a sesta vota fuie 'o destino
nu sunatore c''o viulino
ca m''o faceva nu cuncertino
e nfri nfro nfra
Ma po' facennome 'a serenata
tutt''o strumento s'eva scurdato
e 'o "mi" pruvaie
a "re" tuccaie
ma nun fuie capace
e i' ce 'o cantaie st'atu requie e pace
e nfri nfro nfra...
'E chistu passo l'aggiu pruvato
aroppo 'e chisto ancora n'ato
ma a tuttuquante l'aggio atterrate
e nfri nfro nfra
E mò arapimmo stu testamiento
ma senza spennerce nu lamiento
Nisciuno 'e lloro me lassaie niente
e nfri nfro nfra...
