Fear not, my love...
The gondola will not betray you...
It will not sink...
It is the companion of calm waters
Since Venice was founded...
-2-
Step aboard...
So that its sailor may sing to you
To the rhythm of a melodious oar,
A song composed by the waves
And sung by Italy.
-3-
The street streams are ready to welcome you...
Flocks of doves guard the harbors of the roads,
And the land has planned your voyage...
Give me your hand...
Sail with me...
For the journey will not begin except with you.
