Torna a Surriento
Vide 'o mare quant'è bello
Spira tantu sentimento
Comme tu a chi tiene mente
Ca scetato 'o faie sunnà
Guarda, gua', chistu ciardino
Siente, sie' sti sciure arance
Nu profumo accussi fino
Dinto 'o core se ne va
E tu dice: "I' parto, addio!"
T'alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l'ammore
Tiene 'o core 'e nun turnà?
Ma nun me lassà
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a surriento
Famme campà!
Vide 'o mare de Surriento
Che tesoro tene nfunno
Chi ha girato tutto 'o munno
Nun l'ha visto comm'a ccà
Guarda attuorno sti Sserene
Ca te guardano 'ncantate
E te vonno tantu bene
Te vulessero vasà
E tu dice: "I' parto, addio!"
T'alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l'ammore
Tiene 'o core 'e nun turnà?
Ma nun me lassà
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a surriento
Famme campà!
Torna a surriento
Famme campà!
Return to Sorrento
See how beautiful the sea is
It breathes so much sentiment
Like you to whom I hold in mind
That awake makes me dream
Look, look at this garden
Smell, these bright oranges
A scent so delicate
Into the heart it goes
And you say: 'I'm leaving, goodbye!'
You move away from this heart
From this land of love
Do you have the heart not to 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 look at 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 this land of love
Do you have the heart not to return?
But don't leave me
Don't give me this torment!
Return to Sorrento
Let me live!
Return to Sorrento
Let me live!
