Lyrics

In gentle voice I heard the sea
In a song of a Sailor she sang to me
I?d hum along, the words out of reach
With language of angels, from somewhere carefree
Swept up by memory?s breeze
Grandma would sing me to sleep

Vicin'ô mare,
facimmo 'ammore,
a core a core,
pe' nce spassá...

Só' marenaro
e tiro 'a rezza:
ma, p'a priezza,
stóngo a murí...

My mind would wander to red skies in June
A man setting sail by the light of full moon
Did she leave true love behind?
Grandma would sing one more time

Vicin'ô mare,
facimmo 'ammore,
a core a core,
pe' nce spassá...

Só' marenaro
e tiro 'a rezza:
ma, p'a priezza,
stóngo a murí...
