Torna a Surriento Lyrics
Vide 'o mare quant’è bello
Spira tantu sentimento
Comme tu a chi tieni mente
Ca scetato 'o fai sunnà
Guarda gua' chistu ciardino;
Siente, sie’ sti ciur' arance:
Nu prufumo accussi fino
Dinto 'o core se ne va…
E tu dice: "I' parto, addio!"
T'alluntane da stu core…
Da sta terra del l'ammore…
Tieni 'o core 'e nun turnà?
Ma nun me lassà
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a Surriento
Famme campà!
Vid’o mare de Surriento
Che tesoro tene nfunno:
Chi ha girato tutto ’o munno
Nun l'ha visto comme’a ccà
Vide attuorno sti Sirene
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!
