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
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!
Melania's song O sole mio (My sun) is an Italian classic that celebrates the beauty of a sunny day. The first stanza describes the joy and serenity that follows a stormy day. The singer is ecstatic and even the air feels like a celebration. The second stanza continues to describe the beauty of the sun and how it is even more beautiful when it shines over the face of the person the singer loves. This reveals the romantic undertone of the song.
The third stanza then shifts to a melancholic tone, where the singer longs to be near their beloved when the sun sets. The singer feels a sense of nostalgia and yearns to stay under their beloved's window when the sun sets. But once again, the beauty of the sun is celebrated in the final stanza, with the singer acknowledging that there is another sun that outshines the beauty of every other sun - their loved one.
