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!
He saw how beautiful the sea is
It exudes such a feeling
As you do to those who keep in mind
What a mistake you made
Look, look, this little garden
Smell, smell these oranges
A perfume so fine
It goes into my heart
And you say: "I'm leaving, goodbye!"
You leave this heart
From this land of love
It holds my heart and won't return
But don't leave me,
Don't give me this turmoil!
Go back to Sorrento,
Let me live!
