Sul mare luccica
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 sulla nave!
Su passeggeri
venite via!
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia.

In' fra le tende
bandir la cena,
in una sera
così serena.
Chi non dimanda,
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,
Dove il creato,
Tu sei l'impero
Del armonia,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!

Or che tardate,
bella è la sera.
Spira un auretta
fresca e leggiera.
Venite all'agile
barchetta mia!
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia.

Now 'neath the silver moon
Ocean is glowing,
O'er the calm billow
Soft winds are blowing;
Hark, how the sailor's cry
Joyously echoes nigh:
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!

Here balmy breezes blow,
Pure joys invite us,
And as we gently row,
All things delight us.
Santa Lucia,
Home of fair Poesy,
Realm of pure Harmony, Santa Lucia!

When o'er thy waters
Light winds are playing,
Thy spell can soothe us,
All care allaying;

To thee, sweet Napoli,
What charms are given,
Where smiles creation,
Toil blest by heaven.
 

For CPDL #21451, the order (with repeats AABB) is:

Now 'neath the silver … blowing;
Here balmy … things delight us.

Hark, how … Santa Lucia!
Santa Lucia, Home of fair Poesy…
