Torna a Surriento
Vide 'o mare quant'e
Spira tantu sentimento,
Comme tu a chi tiene mente,
Ca scetato 'o faie sunnŕ.
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 turnŕ?
Ma nun me lasse,
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a Surriento,
famme campŕ!
Vide 'o mare de Surriento,
che tesoro tene nfunno:
chi ha girato tutto 'o munno
nun l'ha visto comm'a ccŕ.
Guarda attuorno sti Sserene,
ca te guardano 'ncantate,
e te vonno tantu bene...
Te vulessero vasŕ.
E tu dice: "I' parto, addio!"
T'alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l'ammore
Tiene 'o core 'e nun turnŕ?
Ma nun me lassŕ,
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a Surriento,
Famme campŕ!

COME BACK TO
Look at the sea, how beautiful it is,
inspiring many sentiments ,
as do your softly spoken words,
which make me dream all day.
See how this light breeze, comes from the
garden, bringing the scent of oranges,
a fragrance without parallel
for one whose heart is full of love!
And you say: "I am leaving, farewell!"
You would flee my heart...
this land of love...
how can you leave it behind?
Don't go away,
do not torture me any more!
Come back to
and do not let me die!
See the
what a treasure it is:
who has traveled the world
has not seen anything like this.
Look around, these sirens
who are enchanting you,
and they love you very much...
They would like to kiss you.
And you say: "I am leaving, farewell!"
You would flee my heart...
this land of love...
how can you leave it behind?
Don't go away,
do not torture me any more!
Come back to
and do not let me die!
