TORNE’ DI SURRENTO - © 2005

 

Come back Sorrento calls to me

From Naples bay in Italy

What finer place is there to be?

Than with the summer sun on your back

Feeling so carefree

To visit Pompeii

With its volcanic ruins and rubble

While nearby Vesuvius quietly bubbles

Waiting its turn to cause more trouble

Go to Positano with its caverns and caves

To Salerno with its wartime graves

To Amalfi with its beautiful church and piazza

Evening drinks in Sorrento thereafter

Take a boat to Capri

Or a trip to Rome

It won’t be long

Before you’re on your way home

Go for a swim

Do the butterfly

Or just relax

And let the day go by

Read a book and forget yourself

It will soon be time to go

When there will be a whisper on the summer wind

Saying Torne’ Di Surrento
