oh my sun is one of the most well-known songs to emerge from Italy, as well as songs like painted blue in blue and Caruso. It was written by Giovanni Capurro and Eduardo di Capua in 1898 and has been recorded and translated into various languages by dozens of artists, most notably Elvis Don’t miss out, don’t miss out.
Note that I don’t call it an Italian song – that’s because it’s usually sung in the original Neapolitan language!
You can watch the Italian opera trio below flight fulfill oh my sun on YouTube. Be sure to refer to the lyrics as you listen, and if in doubt about the meaning, check out the English translation at the end of the article!

O Sole Mio – Naples Lyrics
na jurnata ‘e sole what a beautiful thing,
Calm after the storm!
Pe’ll’aria fresca pare gia’ at the party
What a beautiful sole na jurnata ‘e.
do not worry
Prettier today.
‘Oh my sun
It’s right in front of you!
“Oh Soles,” Oh My Sun
it’s right in front of you,
It’s right in front of you!
The ballast that lights up your windows;
‘na lavannara canta e se ne vanta
and pe ‘tramente torch, span and sing
Ballasts that light up your windows.
do not worry
Prettier today.
‘Oh my sun
It’s right in front of you!
When night falls and the sun sets,
vene me almost’na malincunia;
under ‘a fenesta toia restarria
When it is night and the sun goes down.
do not worry
Prettier today.
‘Oh my sun
It’s right in front of you!
O Sole Mio – Italian translation
What a beautiful sunny day,
Calm air after a storm!
For fresh air, it already looks like a party
What a beautiful sunny day!
but another sun
Oh girl, it’s prettier there
my sun
standing in front of you
sun, my sun,
standing in front of you
standing in front of you
Your windowpanes are shining,
washerwoman singing and boasting
When he squeezes, stretches and sings.
Your windowpanes are sparkling!
but another sun
Oh girl, it’s prettier there
my sun
standing in front of you
When it gets dark and the sun goes down,
i almost feel blue
I’ll stay under your window,
It was dark and the sun went down.
but another sun
no more beautiful
my sun
standing in front of you

O Sole Mio (My Own Sun) – English translation
What a beautiful thing, sunny day
Calm air after a storm!
The air is so fresh, it already feels like a celebration
What a beautiful thing, a sunny day!
but another sun
That’s prettier, girl
my own sun
standing in front of you
the sun, my own sun,
standing in front of you
standing in front of you
Your windowpanes are shining,
washerwomen singing and bragging
When she wrings, hangs clothes and sings.
Your windowpanes are sparkling!
but another sun
That’s prettier, girl
my own sun
standing in front of you
When it was dark and the sun went down,
I’m starting to feel blue
I’ll stay under your window,
It was dark and the sun was setting.
but another sun
That’s prettier, girl
my own sun
standing in front of you
the sun, my own sun,
standing in front of you
standing in front of you
