Torna a Surriento [English translation]

Look at the sea, how beautiful it is!

It inspires with a great feeling..

Like you

It dreams.

Look down, at this garden,

Smell these flowers of orange trees...

So fine fragrance,

It is penetrating straight into the heart.

And you are saying: “I am leaving. Good-bye!”

You are moving away from this heart,

From the earth of love.

Do you dare not to come back?

Don't leave me,

Don't give me such torments...

Come back to Sorrento,

Bring me back to life!...

Look, the sea in Sorrento,

What treasures it keeps on the bottom.

Who travelled all over the world

Didn't see something like here!

Look around, these sirens,

Bewitched they are looking at you

And love you so much:

They would like to kiss you!

And you are saying: “I am leaving. Good-bye!”

You are moving away from this heart,

From the earth of love.

Do you dare not to come back?

Don't leave me,

Don't give me such torments...

Come back to Sorrento,

Bring me back to life!...
