O Sole Mio
Jerry Vale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Che bella corsa e' 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

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

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

Quanno fa notte e'sole se ne scenne
Me vene quase'na malincunia
Soto a fenesta toi restarria
Quando 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

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Jerry Vale's song, O Sole Mio, he describes the beauty of a sunny day. He mentions the clear, fresh air that follows a storm, and how the day seems like a celebration. The phrase "Che bella cosa na jurnata'e sole" translates to "What a beautiful thing is a sunny day". However, in the second verse, Jerry Vale sings about another sun that is even more beautiful, and that is the one that is in front of the person he is singing to. The phrase "Ma n'atu sole cchiu' bello, oi ne'/'O sole mio sta nfronte a te" can be translated to mean "But another sun that's brighter still: It's my own sun that's in your face". He goes on to describe how the sun shines on his love's window and how a washerwoman sings and brags about her laundry work, and she shines like the sun too.
