verse 1 Watch the sea so bright and lovely, Waking depths of tender feeling, Like to you of whom I'm thinking Till I'm dreaming though awake See the lovely dewy garden, Breathing scent of orange blossoms; Such a sweet and gracious perfume That it enters in one's heart. Chorus And you say "Good-bye, I'm going," This poor heart of mine you're leaving, Leaving this fair land of loving, Can you bear to not return? Then leave me not, Nor give to me this torment, Come back to Sorrento, That I may live. verse 2 See the waves of fair Sorrento, What a treasure lies beneath them! One through all the world may journey But may never find the like. See the Sirens all around you, Looking on you so enchanted; And so dearly do they love you That they fain would kiss your lips. Chorus And you say "Good-bye, I'm going," This poor heart of mine you're leaving, Leaving this fair land of loving, Can you bear to not return? Then leave me not, Nor give to me this torment, Come back to Sorrento, That I may live.
