Emunini cù Maria!
Ch: E a-mò-la e a-mò-la!
San Giuseppe 'n cumpagnia
Ch: E a-mò-la e a-mò-la!
E lu tunnu è veru beddu!
Carricamu 'stu vasceddu!
E di Genova a Portufinu,
E livvurnu signurinu.
E assumamu 'sta safina!
E sparamu 'sta tunnina!
All hands: Assuma! Assuma!
Let us begin to work,
Ch: E a-mò-la e a-mò-la!
In the company of the Virgin and St. Giuseppe.
Ch: E a-mò-la e a-mò-la!
The tunny are abundant,
Let us load up our ship.
We will go to the lordly cities,
Of Genoa, Portofino, and Leghohn.
We'll raise the nets of the tunny,
And make the fish disappear.
All hands: Up with the net! Up with the net!
