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!...

Mira el mar, cuan bello es, inspira tanto sentimiento, como tú, que a quien miras, aún despierto lo haces soñar. Mira aquí estos jardines, huele estas flores de naranjo, un perfume tan delicado va directo al corazón... Y tú dices: "¡Me marcho, adiós!" te alejas de este corazón, de esta tierra del amor: ¿Tienes el corazón para no volver? ¡Pero no me dejes, no me des este tormento! ¡Vuelve a Sorrento, hazme vivir! ¡Mira el mar de Sorrento, qué tesoro tiene en su fondo! Quien ha recorrido todo el mundo nunca ha visto algo igual. Mira alrededor, estas sirenas, te están mirando, encantadas, y te quieren tanto; te quisieran besar. Y tú dices: "¡Me marcho, adiós!" te alejas de este corazón, de esta tierra del amor: ¿Tienes el corazón para no volver? ¡Pero no me dejes, no me des este tormento! ¡Vuelve a Sorrento, hazme vivir!
