Torna a Surriento [English translation]

See the sea how beautiful it is,

it inspires all kinds of emotions,

like you with people who care

you make them daydream.

Behold, look at this garden;

sense, smell these orange buds,

there isn’t a perfume so fine,

going straight in your heart

And you say: "I’m leaving, goodbye!"

you’re walking away 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,

make me live!

See the sea of Surriento,

the buried treasure it has!

Those who traveled all over the world,

haven’t seen anything like it.

Behold these Sirens all around

that look at you enchanted,

and love you so much;

they’d love to kiss you,

And you say: "I’m leaving, goodbye!"

you’re walking away 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,

make me live!
