DEAN MARTIN – COME BACK TO SORRENTO (Promotional) '51

LYRICS: “Come Back to Sorrento” (Torna a Surriento)

Guarda il mare com’e bello
Spira tanto sentimento
Come il tuo soave accento, che me desto fa sognar
Senti come illeve salle, dai giardini odor d’aranci

Un perfumo non v’ha eguale per chi palpita d’amore
E tu dicro parto addio
T’allontani dal mio core, questa terra del amore
Hai la forza di lasciar
Ma non mi fuggir, non dar mi piu tormento
Torna a Sorrento non farmi morir

Smiling leave I saw you taking
All that once you loved forsaken
And I felt my heart was breaking
Oh, how could you go away

Ma non mi fuggir, non dar mi piu tormento
Torna a Sorrento non farmi morir!

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti (June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995), was an Italian American singer, film actor, and comedian. He was one of the most famous music artists in the 1950s and 1960s. He was often referred to as “the coolest man who ever lived,” and many people worldwide hung on to Dean Martin’s every smile. He was a magnificent singer whose voice oozed sensuality as he beguiled audience after audience with an aura of flippant nonchalance. Known as One of the crooners who embraced his Italian heritage the most, his smooth voice could croon his way through a ballad like no other, but when he’s singing in Italian, that’s when he truly shined. Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra were the best of friends, on and off stage. “They respected each other — they were not known to be jealous of each other, Sinatra made matching diamond pinky rings with his signature crest for the bosom buddies. Dean reportedly never took his off.
