Return to Sorrento

Torna a Surriento

See how beautiful the sea isVide 'o mare quant'è bello
It breathes so much sentimentSpira tantu sentimento
Like you to whom I hold in mindComme tu a chi tiene mente
That awake makes me dreamCa scetato 'o faie sunnà

Look, look at this gardenGuarda, gua', chistu ciardino
Smell, these bright orangesSiente, sie' sti sciure arance
A scent so delicateNu profumo accussi fino
Into the heart it goesDinto 'o core se ne va

And you say: 'I'm leaving, goodbye!'E tu dice: "I' parto, addio!"
You move away from this heartT'alluntane da stu core
From this land of loveDa sta terra de l'ammore
Do you have the heart not to return?Tiene 'o core 'e nun turnà?

But don't leave meMa nun me lassà
Don't give me this torment!Nun darme stu turmiento!
Return to SorrentoTorna a surriento
Let me live!Famme campà!

See the sea of SorrentoVide 'o mare de Surriento
What treasure it holds withinChe tesoro tene nfunno
Who has traveled the whole worldChi ha girato tutto 'o munno
Hasn't seen anything like thisNun l'ha visto comm'a ccà

Look around at these SirensGuarda attuorno sti Sserene
Who look at you enchantedCa te guardano 'ncantate
And love you so muchE te vonno tantu bene
They would want to kiss youTe vulessero vasà

And you say: 'I'm leaving, goodbye!'E tu dice: "I' parto, addio!"
You move away from this heartT'alluntane da stu core
From this land of loveDa sta terra de l'ammore
Do you have the heart not to return?Tiene 'o core 'e nun turnà?

But don't leave meMa nun me lassà
Don't give me this torment!Nun darme stu turmiento!
