Come Back To Sorrento - 1911

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 03 Apr 2002

Hear the music of the waters,
Vows of tender passion sighing,
Like the heart to which go flying
All my thoughts in wakeful dream.
See the lovely dewy garden,
Breathing orange perfumed greeting,
Nought can set my heart abeating
Like the fragrance of its bloom.
Now I hear that thou must leave me.
Thou and I must soon be parted,
Canst thou leave me broken hearted?
Wilt thou never more return?
Then say not goodbye,
Come back again, beloved,
Back to Sorrento
Or I must Die

Then say not goodbye,
Come back again, beloved,
Back to Sorrento
Or I must Die
