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!

Che bella cosa 'na jurnata 'e sole
N'aria serena doppo 'na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già 'na festa...
Che bella cosa è '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!

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

'O sole, 'o sole mio
Sta 'nfronte a te!
Sta 'nfronte a te!
Sta 'nfronte a te!

Sta 'nfronte a te!
Sta 'nfronte a te!
