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 solecchiù bello, oje ne'. O sole miosta 'nfronte a te! O soleO sole miosta '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 restarriaquanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu solecchiù bello, oje ne'. O sole mio sta 'nfronte a te! O soleO sole miosta 'nfronte a te!sta 'nfronte a te!

What a wonderful thing a sunny day The serene air after a thunderstorm The fresh air, and a party is already going on…What a wonderful thing a sunny day.
But another sun, that’s brighter stillIt’s my own sunthat’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!

"O Sole Mio is often referred to as a Neapolitan song. Neapolitan songs were songs written for an annual songwriting contest for the Festival of Piedigrotta, which began in 1830, in Naples, Italy. "O Sole Mio" was composed by Eduardo Di Capua in Odessa, Italy, during April, 1898. Setting his music to the poem by Giovanni Capurro, Di Capua drew his inspiration while touring Crimea with his father (a violinist street musician). Di Capua and Capurro sold the rights of the song to the Bideri publishing house for 25 lire.
"O Sole Mio" had a third author. Emanuele Alfredo Mazzucchi helped Di Capua write the music of "O Sole Mio", however, he did not sign the manuscript. Mazzucchi didn't much mind to remain the silent third author while much of the world performed and enjoyed the song. It wasn't until his death in 1972, that his heirs filed a claim stating that he was an author of the song (along with 17 others he helped Di Capua write). Finally, in 2002, an Italian judge ruled in favor of the Mazzucchi heirs. They now own the rights to "O Sole Mio" until 2042, and will collect those glorious royalties.".
