Italian text

Sassi, Palae, Sabbion, del Adrian lio,
Alleghe, zoncchi, Herbazi chie la stéu,
Velme, barene, chie scundéu
L'ostregha'l cappa, E'l passerin polio
E vui del valle pesci e d'ogni rio,
E del mar grandi e pizuli chie séu,
Scombri, Chieppe, Sardun, chie drio tiréu,
Le syrene dunzell'e ch'a mario.

E vu fiumi chie dèu tributo al mari,
Piave, Ladese, Po, Sil, Brenta et Ogio,
Vegnì, Vegnì cha tutti canti a lagrimari,
La morte d'Adrian, del chal me dogio,
Chie no'l porà mie versi plio lustrari
Cu'l dulce canto chie rumpre ogni scogio.
O megàlas, cordogio del mundo tutto,
Chy sarà mo chello?
Chie in armonia del par vaga cun ello.
