Stone city there spreads, mother for cities,
Venice-Vedenets, o\'er the middle sea it arised.
Only once a year the church wonderful
Rises from the blue sea entirely.
People come close to it and show surprise,
They’r glorious knights from across the sea.
And the mighty doge, in the gold chateau,
Engaged with a ring to a bright blue sea.
Beautiful city, t’happyest city,
Queen of the sea, you, glorious Venice!
The cool wind there is softly fluttering;
Sapphirine blue sea, sapphirine blue sky!
Let you reign meekly over the blue sea,
Beautiful city , glorious Venice,
The moon shines from the night firmament
The blue sea’s lapsing quietly.
Black-haired maidens poor out sweet songs,
Lute ringing strings are distinctly heard.
Beautiful city, t’happyest city
Queen of the sea, you, glorious Venice!
The cool wind there is softly fluttering;
Sapphirine blue sea, sapphirine blue sky!
Let you reign meekly over the blue sea,
Beautiful city , glorious Venice!
The city is wonderful!
Glorious Vedenets!
