Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Che bella cosa 'na iurnata'e sole, n' ària serena doppo 'na tempesta!
pe' ll' ària fresca pare già 'na festa... Che bella cosa 'na iurnata'e sole.
VERSE 2
Luceno e llastre d' a fenesta toia; 'na lavannara canta e se vanta,
e pe tramente torce, spanne e canta, Luceno'e llastre d' a fenesta toia.
VERSE 3
Quanno fa notte e'o sole se ne scenne, mme vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto'a fenesta toia restaria, quanno fa notte e'o sole se ne scenne.
REFRAIN
Ma n'atu sole cchiù bello, ohi ne',
'o sole mio sta nfronte a te,
'o sole, 'o sole mio
sta nfronte a te, sta nfronte a te!
VERSE 4
What lovely sunshine! What a day of beauty! How calm the air is When a storm is ended!
The scene so fair is Like a feteday splendid! What lovely sunshine! What a day of beauty!
VERSE 5
Bright shine the small panes In thy chamberwindow. A woman, singing, Cleanses linen neatly.
With strong arms wringing While her song rings sweetly. Bright shine the small panes In thy chamberwindow.
VERSE 6
When night approaches And the sun is setting, A melancholy Fills my heart with yearning.
Unto thy window Fain I would be turning. When night approaches And the sun is setting.
ENGLISH REFRAIN
But I know sunshine more lovely still
From thy dear features Its bright rays thrill!
That sunshine, radiant sunshine
My heart doth fill! My heart doth fill!
