Santa Lucia [English translation]

The silver star twinkles above the sea,

the waves are gentle, the wind is favorable.

Come onto my agile little boat,

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Come onto my agile little boat,

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

With this so gentle wind

Oh how pleasant it is to be on the ship!

Oh how pleasant it is to be on the ship!

All aboard passengers, come away!

Oh charming Naples, oh bessed ground,

where all creation wanted to smile!
