Vide 'o mare quant?è bello, Spira tantu sentimento, Comme tu a chi tiene mente, Ca scetato 'o faie sunnà. Guarda, gua?, chistu ciardino; Siente, sie? sti sciure arance: Nu profumo accussi fino Dinto 'o core se ne va? 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! 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! Torna a Surriento,
