Lyrics and translation Curtis, Luciano Pavarotti, National Philharmonic Orchestra & Giancarlo Chiaramello - Torna a Surriento

Torna a Surriento

Vide 'o mare quant'è bello
Spira tantu sentimento
Comme tu a chi tiene mente
Ca scetato 'o faie sunnà
Guarda, guarda, chistu ciardino
Siente, siente sti sciure arance
Nu profumo accussì fino
Dinto 'o core se ne va
E tu dice: "Io 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

Torna a Surriento

Look at the sea, how beautiful
It stirs so much feeling
As if to those who listen
It makes them dream when awake
Look, look at this garden
Smell, smell these orange blossoms
Such a fine fragrance
It goes straight to the heart
And you say: "I'm leaving, farewell!"
You distance yourself from this heart
From this land of love
You have the heart not to return
But don't leave me,
Don't give me this torment!
Come back to Sorrento,
Let me live!
Look at the sea of Sorrento,
What treasures it holds in its depths
Anyone who has traveled the world
Hasn't seen anything like it here
Look around at these serene ones
Who gaze at you enchanted
And they love you so much
They want to kiss you
And you say: "I'm leaving, farewell!"
You distance yourself 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!
Come back to Sorrento,
Let me live!
Come back to Sorrento
