'O sole mio
Luciano Pavarotti & Savage Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
'O sole, 'o sole mio
Sta 'nfronte a te
Sta 'nfronte a te
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
The lyrics of "O sole mio" describe the beauty of a sunny day after a storm, creating a serene and joyful atmosphere. The first stanza evokes the feeling of happiness and celebration that comes after a period of turbulence, highlighting the refreshing and pleasant air that follows a storm. The repetition of "che bella cosa" emphasizes the beauty of the moment and the word "fest" indicates that the ambiance is celebratory.
The second stanza, on the other hand, focuses on the sun itself, turning it into an object of admiration and love. The singer declares that there is no other sun that is more beautiful than the one in front of them and emphasizes the presence of the sun by repeating "sta 'nfronte a te" ("it's in front of you"). The use of the Neapolitan dialect gives the lyrics an intimate and local feel, linking the singer with his audience and his heritage.

Exactly. Darren is not a trained opera singer that has spent decades perfecting his craft. He's a pop singer, with a great voice, and is hugely under-rated. He was about 28 years old and couldn't even speak the language he was singing in. I think he did a great job.
@Oecologeae
I love how Pavarotti smiles at Darren when he is singing. This was beautiful.
@raiden7358
I like how Darren just stands there when he is done singing. So respectful
@khategerona6871
yup and he is all with respect watching Pavarotti like he is just one of the audience 💙 Too much respect for both of them 👏👏👏
I love you so much Darren! 😍 my exceptional man.
@debraparker833
His Mama raised him right. Lovely and humble man with a beautiful soul.

Wow, I was never expecting that voice to come out of Darren. It was fantastic! He has amazing range, and I think it's unfair to compare him to someone who sings this type of music all the time. They're both amazing in what they do.
@bellabana
Darren sounds amazing, he's singing in Italian and in a much lower key than normal, beautiful.

I love it when Darren standing and staring at Luciano with lots of respect when it came to Luciano's turn to sing. Love their talents and attitudes.

Darren Hayes has one of the sexiest singing voices. And he got to sing with one of the best opera singers of all time. This also one of my favorite songs sung by Darren and the late great opera singer. He will be greatly missed.

I like how ironically Darren smiled as he was singing, he was like” Excuse me, I am not a pro.” But he did soo good, I love his voice.
