Che bella cosa 'na iurnata 'e sole,
n' aria serena doppo 'na tempestal
pe' 11' aria fresca pare gia na' festa ...
Che bella cos a 'na iurnata 'e sole.
Ma n' atu (t) sole
cchiu bbello, oi n.e',

Qual dolce cosa un giorno pilOn di sole,
un bel sereno dopo la tempesta;
nell 'aria fresca par come una festa.
qual dolce cosa un giorno pien di sole!
Ma un sol piu bello
sorride a me,
it sol chI' splende

Brillano i vetri de la tua finestra,

Quando vien sera, a1 dolce addio del sole,
mi vince quasi una malinconia,
giu a la finestra tua restra vorria,
quando vien sera, al dolce addio del soleI
Ma un sol piu bello
sorride a me,
it sol che splende
negli occhi a te I
Quanno fa notte e '0 sole se ne scenne,
rome vene quase 'na malincunia,
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria,
quanno fa notte e '0 sole se ne scenne.
Ma n' atu sole
cchiu bbeUo, oi ne',
'0 sole mio

Beneath thy window, waiting love in sadness,
All through the dreary night love's tale Ive told thee,
Alert to hear thee, eager to behold thee,
Yet doomed to wait till dawn should bring me gladness.
Awake and greet me,
The dawn is here,
Come forth to meet me,
For I am herel
When all unwilling yesternight we parted
Yet didst thou promise me, to ease my sorro~,
That I should surely see thee on the morrow,
And aU night long I've waited eager- hearted.
Awake and greet me,
The dawn is here,
Come forth to meet me,
For I am herel

The birds I've wakened, roused them from their slumber
The lark Ive bid unfurl his drooping feather,
'
And for the dawn we two have watched together,
For long and weary hours that none can number.
Awake and greet me,
The dawn is here,
Come forth to meet me,
For I am herel
