La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Gondolier, t'en souviens-tu
Les pieds nus, sur ta gondole?
Tu chantais la barcarolle
Tu chantais pour lui et moi

Lui et moi, tu te rappelles?
Lui et moi, c'était écrit
Pour la vie, la vie si belle
Gondolier quand tu chantais

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Io ti amo con tutt il cuor
Solo ate adorero
E sappendo che tu mi ami
Ti amero, mol ti di piu

Cet air là était le nôtre
Gondolier, si tu le vois
Dans les bras, les bras d'une autre
Gondolier ne chante pas

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
