Come Back to Sorrento (1948)
Composer: Ernesto DeCurtis
Lyricists: Giambattista B. De Curtis, Claude Aveling
Vocalist: Gracie Fields

Vide 'o mare quante bello
Spira tantu sentimento
Comme tu a chi tiene mente
Ca scetato 'o faie sunna

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

E tu dice: “I’ parto, addio!”
T’alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l’ammore
Tiene ‘o core ‘e nun turnà?

Then say not good-bye
Come back again beloved
Back to Sorrento Or I must die

Ma nun me lassà
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a Surriento
famme campà!
