O Sole Mio

                                  with Pavarotti



Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,

n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!

Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa...

Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.



Ma n'atu sole

cchiù bello, oje ne'.

'o sole mio

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

cchiù bello, oje ne'.

'o sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!





When I first saw you with your smile so tender 

my heart was captured, my soul surrendered. 

I spent a lifetime waiting for the right time 

now that you're near the time is here at last! 



It's now or never come hold me tight 

kiss me my darling, be mine tonight. 

Tomorrow will be too late 

it's now or never 

my love won't wait. 



Just like a willow we would cry an ocean 

if we lost true love and sweet devotion. 

Your lips excite me let your arms invite me, 

for who knows when we'll meet again this way.
