O Sole Mio
Caruso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
N'aria serena doppo na tempesta
Pe' ll'aria fresca para gia' na festa
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole
Ma n'atu sole
Cchiu' bello, oi ne'
'O sole mio
'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
Sotta 'a fenesta toia restarria
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne
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
In "O Sole Mio," Caruso describes the beauty of a sunny day and how the fresh air after a storm feels like a celebration. The lyrics express the joy and appreciation of the beauty around us, and Caruso compares the beauty of the day to the beauty of his love interest, saying that another sun is even more beautiful when it is in front of her.
However, when the sun sets and darkness arrives, Caruso's emotions change. He feels a sense of longing and melancholy, wishing to be near his love interest as the sun sets. The lyrics use the image of staying under her window as a symbol of his desire to be with her.
Overall, the lyrics express the joy of life and the feelings of love and longing that come with it. The song's beautiful, simple melody and its powerful message have made it one of the most beloved songs of all time, and it endures to this day.

@@johnschroeter9743 That is the key! That is what I did not expect! (My musical background is about average; trumpet in school band and played around with my sister's violin, my dad's guitar, my uncle's accordion, and noodled through simple tunes on the family pianos (every home had one).
I am a writer and researcher (and learn much along the way) and I had set myself a task of objectively comparing tenors Lanza (my FIL's favorite) with Pavarotti (my Italian BIL's favorite) and later added Juan Diego Flórez (my opera loving spouse's favorite tenor).
I had not listened to enough specific operatic tenors to have a favorite. I just "like everything." I also noted that Lanza was American, Pavarotti was Italian and Flórez was Peruvian a wide range over the globe.
I started with Lanza and Pavarotti's versions of "O Sole Mio" and was then going to "Nessun dorma," comparing each tenors modulation, pronunciation, range and whatever else clearly separate the two versions. After Lanza and Pavarotti, I put on an Enrico Caruso version of "Oh Sole Mio" (as a "palette" (ear) cleanser, anticipating that it would sound "old and scratchy" and provide a great contrast in sound). WOW!!!! Caruso was amazing! I started to cry. Tears were running down and that was it. I was done! I had found a tenor who "had it all." I began looking for everything from Caruso on YouTube. His voice is absolutely captivating! Stunning! Like nothing I've ever heard before.
My FIL had appreciated Caruso but changed his preference to Lanza since Lanza was "modern" (and closer to my FIL's age) and he watched him live on TV. (Nothing like that is possible with Caruso who died in 1921.)
My (born in Italy) BIL had always preferred Pavarotti (one of the first opera stars he followed) for his energy and his "rich rounded" sound (and Pavarotti's engaging attitude with his self-deprecating humor).
But, I became an (unintended) Caruso fan on first hearing him! His voice is the ONLY voice that brought me to (involuntary) tears. And, it's the sound, not the words (since my Italian is almost non-existent).
The notion of Enrico Caruso, that amazing man, dying a horrific death at age 48, his entire body writhing in pain and filled with infection is heart-breaking. Medicine was primitive in the USA in 1921 but medicine in Naples was nothing short of faith healers at that time (and, in his case, worse than nothing).
We are fortunate that Caruso recorded as much as he did. I expect he had NO idea that he would be making an impact, through those recordings, and bringing tears, over 100 years later. And that is key; the involuntary crying that comes from deep in the soul. Caruso's voice does that.

The light was fading away
At the Inn of Earth's End,
When Man sat down to play
At cards with his grizzly friend.
Death won trick after trick,
Till all of a sudden Man
Turned one with a flick:
"That's mine," Death began,
But, seeing he had no choice,
Let it go with a groan;
For the trick was Caruso's voice
Safe on the gramophone.
