Torna a Surriento
Vide 'o mare quant'è bello,
spira tanto sentimento,
comme tu, a chi tiene mente,
ca scetato 'o faje sunná.
Guarda quá' chisti ciardine,
siente sié' sti sciure 'arancio,
nu prufumo accussí fino
dint''o core se ne va.
E tu dici: "Parto, addio!"
T'alluntane da stu core.
Da la terra de ll'ammore,
tiene 'o core 'e nun turná?
Ma nun mme lassá,
nun darme stu turmiento.
Torna a Surriento!
Famme campá!
Vide 'o mare de Surriento
che tesoro tene 'nfunno.
Chi ha girato tutt''o munno,
nun ll'ha visto comm'a ccá!
Guarda attuorno a sti Ssirene,
ca te guardano 'ncantate
e te vònno tantu bene.
Te vulessero vasá.
E tu dici: "Parto, addio!"
T'alluntane da stu core.
Da la terra de ll'ammore,
tiene 'o core 'e nun turná?
Ma nun mme lassá,
nun darme stu turmiento.
Torna a Surriento!
Famme campá!
Return to Sorrento
See how beautiful the sea is,
It inspires so much sentiment,
Like you, to those who have a mind,
That awaken dreams.
Look at these gardens,
Smell these orange blossoms,
Such a delicate perfume
It goes straight to the heart.
And you say: "I'm leaving, goodbye!"
You move away from this heart.
From the land of love,
Do you have the heart to not return?
But don't leave me,
Don't give me this torment.
Return to Sorrento!
Let me live!
See the sea of Sorrento
What treasure it holds within.
Who has traveled the whole world,
Hasn't seen anything like this!
Look around at these Sirens,
Who watch you enchanted
And love you so much.
They would want to kiss you.
And you say: "I'm leaving, goodbye!"
You move away from this heart.
From the land of love,
Do you have the heart to not return?
But don't leave me,
Don't give me this torment.
Return to Sorrento!
Let me live!
