Surriento! Quanno penzo 'stu paese
I' veco 'e nnotte a mare chiene 'e stelle
E ciente coppie 'e giuventù curtese
Dint' ê vvarchette ridere e cantà,
E dint' â fantasia
'Na voce me ripete: Torna ccà!
E nce turnasse, sì, Surriento bello,
'Mmiez' a 'sta gente 'e core,
'Mmiez' a 'sta terra d'ammore
Ca sul' 'e ffate sapettero fà…
Surriento! 'Na campagna chiena 'e sole,
'Na vigna carrecata d'uva rosa,
'Na casa mmiez' 'addore d' 'e vviole,
'Nu lietto 'e spose frisco pe' sunnà…
E penza 'a fantasia
Chilli mumente, che felicità!…
E nce turnasse, sì, Surriento bello,
'Mmiez' a 'sta gente 'e core,
'Mmiez' a 'sta terra d'ammore
Ca sul' 'e ffate sapettero fà…
Surriento! Sì, ce torno 'a 'stu paese,
A rriv' 'e mare m'aggi' 'a fà 'na casa,
'O core mio è ricco e pò fà 'e spese,
L'ammore 'stu miraculo pò fà!
E dice 'a fantasia:
Si c'è fermezza, nun te scuraggià!
E io nce torno, sì, Surriento bello,
'Mmiez' a 'sta gente 'e core,
'Mmiez' a 'sta terra d'ammore
Ca sul' 'e ffate sapettero fà…
Sorrento! When I think of this land
I see the starlit nights by the sea
And hundreds of lovely couples of young people
Laughing and singing in boats,
And in my dreams
A voice repeats me: Come back here!
And I would come back, yes, beautiful Sorrento,
To be with this hearted people,
To be in this land of love
That only the fairies could create…
Sorrento! A sunny countryside,
A vineyard full of pink grapes,
A house in the middle of fragrant violets,
A marital bed ready for sleep…
And in my dreams I think of
These moments, what a happiness!…
And I would come back, yes, beautiful Sorrento,
To be with this hearted people,
To be in this land of love
That only the fairies could create…
Sorrento! Yes, I'll come back to this land,
On the seashore I'll build a house,
My heart is rich and it can pay,
Love can create this miracle!
And my thoughts tell me:
If you have determination, don't give up!
And I come back here, yes, beautiful Sorrento,
To be with this hearted people,
To be in this land of love
That only the fairies could create…
