Original Lyrics (in Neapolitan language)
E. A. Mario

English Translation
Partono 'e bastimente
P' 'e terre assaje luntane
Cantano a buordo e so' napulitane!
Cantano pe' tramente
'O golfo gi scompare,
E 'a luna, 'a miez' 'o mare,
'Nu poco 'e Napule
lle fa vede'...
The ships are leaving
For lands far away
They sing on board, they are Neapolitan!
They sing while in the sunset
The bay disappears
And the moon, above the sea
A glimpse of Naples
Lets them see…
Santa Lucia
Luntana 'a te
Quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano
Se va a cerca' furtuna
Ma quanno sponta 'a luna
Luntana a napule
Nun se po' sta!
Saint Lucy
Far away from you
What melancholy!
We go around the world
We go to seek better luck
But when the moon rises
Away from Naples
One cannot stay!
Santa Lucia, tu tiene
Solo 'nu poco 'e mare
Ma cchi luntana staie
Cchi bella pare!
'O canto d' 'e ssirene
Ca tesse ancora 'e rezze
Core, nun vo' ricchezze
Si nato a napule
Ce vo' muri'!
Saint Lucy, you have
Only but a little bit of sea
But the further away you are
The more beautiful you seem!
It is the song of the sirens
That is still casting the net
This heart doesn’t want wealth
If it was born in Naples
It wants to die there!
Santa Lucia
Luntana 'a te
Quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano
Se va a cerca' furtuna
Ma quanno sponta 'a luna
Luntana a napule
Nun se po' sta!
Saint Lucy
Far away from you
What melancholy!
We go around the world
We go to seek better luck
But when the moon rises
Away from Naples
One cannot stay!
Santa Lucia
Luntana 'a te
Quanta malincunia!
Saint Lucy
Far away from you
What melancholy!
