Canzone del pescatore

(What a bounty of fish!
In my days, I never caught so many, nets full,
my sandals are still full, and the traps,
and the crates are full, and now that so
much fish has come to me, I can't find
anyone to help me)...

I would like to become a golden fish,
I would like to become a golden fish,
inside the sea, take me.
inside the sea, take me.
take me.

(Do you want to become a fisherman?)...

If the fisherman came and caught me,
If the fisherman came and caught me,
put me in a little chain.
put me in a little chain.
put me in.

(But if sometimes you see the lampreys shining
Around the rocks, the trout going against the current,
the shad swimming, and the eels escaping,
you would say, oh what joy, seeing live silvers
in clear silver...)

If my darling came and bought me,
If my darling came and bought me,
fry me in a little pan.
fry me in a little pan.
fry me.

I want to build a house in the middle of the sea,
I want to build a house in the middle of the sea,
embroidered with peacock feathers,
oh peacock feathers...
