1. Che bella cosa 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.

Refrain:
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!

2. Lùcene 'e llastre d''a fenesta toia;
'na lavannara canta e se ne vanta
E pe' tramente torce, spanne e canta
Lùcene 'e llastre d'a fenesta toia.
Refrain:

3. 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.
