Il veliero [English translation]

The sailing ship goes

And it takes you away,

On the high seas, and already you're less mine.

Now you cannot help it,

But how could I imagine that you'll belong

To another man!

The sailing ship goes

And it takes me away,

It goes foaming,

It is right and so be it.

But I wonder how could

My destiny make sure that I will belong

To another woman!

The sailing ship goes,

All aboard,

Bow towards the sea, it goes, is not coming back!

The loss – he always wins,

Mother Fright: you – as usual – do not leave

Your kids alone!
