Italian text
- Che bella cosa na jurnata ‘e sole,
- n’aria serena doppo na tempesta!
- Pe’ ll’aria fresca pare gia’ na festa
- Che bella cosa na jurnata ‘e sole.
- Ma n’atu sole
- cchiu’ bello, oi ne’.
- ‘O sole mio
- sta ‘nfronte a te!
- ‘O sole, ‘o sole mio
- sta ‘nfronte a te,
- sta ‘nfronte a te!
- Lùcene ‘e llastre d”a fenesta toia;
- ‘na lavannara canta e se ne vanta
- e pe’ tramente torce, spanne e canta
- lùcene ‘e llastre d’a fenesta toia.
- Quanno fa notte e ‘o sole se ne scenne,
- me vene quase ‘na malincunia;
- sotto ‘a fenesta toia restarria
- quanno fa notte e ‘o sole se ne scenne.
- Lyrics: by Giovanni Capurro (1859-1920)
