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

O Sole Mio ( My Sun )
Placido Domingo
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
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
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 '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
What a wonderful thing a sunny day
The cool air after a thunderstorm
The fresh breezes banish the heavy air
What a wonderful thing a sunny day
But another sun
That's brighter still
It's my own sun
That's in your face
The sun, my own sun
It's in your face
It's in your face
Shining is the glass from your window
A washwoman is singing and bragging
Wringing and hanging laundry and singing
Shining is the glass from your window
But another sun
That's brighter still
It's my own sun
That's in your face
The sun, my own sun
It's in your face
It's in your face
When night comes and the sun
Has gone down
I start feeling blue
I'd stay below your window
When night comes and the sun
Has gone down
But another sun
That's brighter still
It's my own sun
That's in your face
The sun, my own sun
It's in your face
It's in your face

Placido is the GOAT
@salvadordelatorre4817
Placido Domingo seguirá siendo para mí el mejor intérprete de óperas
@edcar3042
la grandeza de este cantante esta mas allá de la potencia de su voz, el sentimiento que transmite al interpretar solo nos deja ver un poquito de la inmensa majestad lleva dentro PLACIDO DOMINGO (DOMINICUS el dia del Señor)
@NaurozNoahTanya
I saw Placido Domingo live in Toronto at 70 year old, he was a legend among us
@shirleyrombough8173
Nauroz (Noah) Tanya. How lucky you were to see him live. That is my fondest hope.

I can hardly believe that I prefer Domingo to Pavarotti when it comes to O Sole Mio. I just listened to this....and a half dozen other versions....including Caruso and Lanza. Every one of them wonderful to listen to....but for me...it's Domingo. Just perfection!
@EduardoRCeniza
La versión de Plácido Domingo de "O Sole Mio" para mí es la mejor interpretación de todos los tiempos.
