Vide ‘o mare quant’è bello
Spira tantu sentimento
Comme tu a chi tiene mente
Ca scetato ‘o faie sunnà
Guarda, guarda, chistu ciardino
Siente, siente sti sciure arance
Nu profumo accussì fino
Dinto ‘o core se ne va
E tu dice: “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!
Vide ‘o mare de Surriento,
Che tesoro tene nfunno
Chi ha girato tutto ‘o munno
Nun l’ha visto comm’a ccà
Guarda attuorno sti Sserene
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!
