Sul mare luccia l'astro d'argento, Placida è l'onda, prospero è il vento Venite all'agile barchetta mia... Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! Con questo zeffiro, così soave Oh! Com'è bello star su la nave! Su passaggieri, venite via! Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! In fra le tende bandir la cena In una sera così serena! Chi non domanda, chi non desia? Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! Mare sì placido, vento sì caro Scordar fa I triboli al marinaro, E va gridando con allegria, Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! O dolce Napoli, o suol beato, Ove sorridere volle il creato Tu sei l'impero dell'armonia! Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! Or che tardate? Bella è la sera, Spira un'auretta fresca e leggera, Venite all'agile barchetta mia Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!
