Vide 'o mare quant'è bello! spira tanta sentimento... Comme tu, a chi tiene mente, ca, scetato, 'o faje sunná! Guarda guá' chisti ciardine, siente sié' sti sciure 'arancio... nu prufumo accussí fino, dint''o core se ne va... E tu dice: "Io parto, addio!" T'alluntane da stu core... Da la terra de ll'ammore, tiene 'o core 'e nun turná?! Ma nun mme lassá, nun darme stu turmiento... Torna a Surriento: famme campá!... Vide 'o mare de Surriento che tesore tene 'nfunno: Chi ha girato tutt''o munno, nun ll'ha visto comm'a ccá! Guarda, attuorno, sti Ssirene ca te guardano 'ncantate e te vònno tantu bene: Te vulessero vasá!... E tu dice: "Io parto, addio!" T'alluntane da stu core... Da la terra de ll'ammore, tiene 'o core 'e nun turná?! Ma nun mme lassá, nun darme stu turmiento... Torna a Surriento: famme campá!...
