Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
N'aria serena dopo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già 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!
Luceno 'e llastre d'a fenesta toia
'Na lavannara canta e se ne vanta
E pe' tramente torce, spanne e canta
Luceno 'e llastre d'a fenesta toia
Refrain:
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
Cchiu' bello, oi ne'
'O sole mio
Sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio
Sta 'nfronte a te
Sta 'nfronte a te!
