Neapolitan Italian Text



Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,

n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!

Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa...

Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.



Ma n'atu sole

cchiù bello, oje ne'.

O sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

O sole

O sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

sta 'nfronte a te!



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.



Ma n'atu sole

cchiù bello, oje ne'.

O sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

O sole

O sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

sta 'nfronte a te!



English Translation



What a wonderful thing a sunny day

The serene air after a thunderstorm

The fresh air, and a party is already going on...

What a wonderful thing a sunny day.



But another sun,

that’s brighter still

It’s my own sun

that’s in your face!

The sun, my own sun

It’s in your face!

It’s in your face!



When night comes and the sun has gone down,

I start feeling blue;

I’d stay below your window

When night comes and the sun has gone down.



But another sun,

that’s brighter still

It’s my own sun

that’s in your face!

The sun, my own sun

It’s in your face!

It’s in your face!
