Описание: Con dolce brama e cond gran disio,                     
With desire sweet and strong,

Dissi al comito quando fu’ in galia,                       
I said to my mate as we boarded the ship,

“Andiamo al porto della donna mia.”                   
“Let’s go to my lady friend’s port.”

Ed elgli tosto prese ‘l suo fraschetto,                     
And he immediately picked up his oar,

“Su! Su! A banco, a banco, piglia vogha!”`         
"Yes, yes, to the bench, let’s take off!”

E de le pope mola via la soga.                               
The rope is cast off from the stern.

Lo vento è buon e tutti alçon l’antenna,               
The wind is good and all raise the mast.

“Aios, Aios,” e l’arboro driççcando,                    
“Heave ho,” and up it rises,

China el qurdernal tutti tirando.                             
The tackle descends as we all pull together.

“Saya la vela, saya in vesti gomene,”                   
“Up with the sail, up with the hawsers,”

“Yssa, yssa, pur te di mano ‘n mano!”                 
“Pull together, hand over hand!”

La vela è su, da volta che si sano.                         
The sail is up and then we go.

Ado le fonde,                                                         
He ties the knot,

Cala l’ançolelo!                                                     
The anchor is released!

“Adentra poçça, mola della sosta!”                      
“Down it goes, give it more rope!”

Al orca pope ciaschedun s’achesta.                       
All sailors head to the stern.

Magister Piero was one of the earliest of the great composers of the Italian Trecento.
