Lyrics and translation Juan Diego Flórez feat. Carlo Tenan & Filarmonica Gioachino Rossini - Torna a Surriento

Torna a Surriento

Vide 'o mare quante bello
Spira tantu sentimento
Comme tu a chi tiene umente
A sheta ti fa durna
Guarda, guarda, shtu giardino
Siente, siesti scuranante:
Nu profumo accussi fino
Intau core se ne va
Se tu dice: "I parto, addio!"
Alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l'ammore
Tiene 'o core 'e fai turna
Ma nun me lassa
Nun tarvesto Surriento!
Torna a Surriento
Famme campa.

Vide 'o mare de Surriento
Che tesoro tene funno:
Chi ha girato tutto 'o munno
Nun l'ha visto como ca
Guarda attuorno sti Serene
Ca te guardano 'ncantate
E te vonno tantu bene...
Te vulessero vasa.
E tu dice: "I' parto, addio!"
T'alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l'ammore
Tiene 'o core 'e nun turna.
Ma nun me lassa
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a Surriento
Famme campa!.

Come Back to Sorrento

See the sea, how beautiful
It breathes so much emotion
As if to those who have a sweetheart
The stars make you sleepy
Look, look at those gardens
Listen, listen, they are intoxicating:
A perfume so delightful
Enters into the heart
If you say: "I'm leaving, goodbye!"
Distance yourself from this heart
From this land of love
You have the heart to return
But don't leave
Don't make me leave Sorrento!
Come back to Sorrento
Let me live.

See the sea of Sorrento
The treasure it holds below:
Who has traveled all the world
Has not seen the like of it
Look around at these sirens
Who watch you enchanted
And love you so much...
They want to kiss you.
And you say: "I'm leaving, goodbye!"
Distance yourself from this heart
From this land of love
You have the heart not to return.
But don't leave
Don't give me this torment!
Come back to Sorrento
Let me live!.
