Torna a surriento (de Curtis) Songtext
von Luciano Pavarotti

Vide ′o mare quant'è bello
Spira tantu sentimento
Comme tu a chi tiene a mente
Ca scetato ′o faie sunnà

Guarda qua, chistu ciardino
Siente, sì sti sciure arance
Nu profumo accussì fino
Dinto 'o core se ne va

E tu dici "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

Hear the music of the waters,
Bars of tender passion sighing
Like thy heart to which go flying
All my thoughts in wakeful dream

See the lovely dewey garden
Breathing orange perfumed greetings
Nought can set my heart a-beating
Like the frangrance of its bloom

Now I hear that thou must leave me
Thou and I will soon be parted
Cant though leave me broken hearted?
Will thou never more return?


Ma nun me lassà
Nun darme stu turmiento
Back to Sorrento
Famme campà
