Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,
What a beautiful thing: a sunny day,

n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
The calm after the storm!

Pe' ll'aria fresca pare gia' na festa
The fresh air now feels like a celebration...

Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.
What a beautiful thing: a sunny day!

Ma n'atu sole
But another sun

cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
More lovely, doesn't exist

'O sole mio
My sunshine

sta 'nfronte a te!
Is on your face!

'O sole, 'o sole mio
The sun, my sunshine

sta 'nfronte a te,
Is on your face!

sta 'nfronte a te!
Is on your face!
 
Lùcene 'e llastre d''a fenesta toia;
Your window panes shine

'na lavannara canta e se ne vanta
A laundress sings and boasts about it

e pe' tramente torce, spanne e canta
And while she wrings and hangs, she sings

lùcene 'e llastre d'a fenesta toia.
Your window panes shine. 

Ma n'atu sole
But another sun

cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
More lovely, doesn't exist

'O sole mio
My sunshine

sta 'nfronte a te!
Is on your face!
