The legend of a voice
Enrico Caruso
'Or my sun
What a beautiful thing a day of sun,
a serene air after the storm!
For the fresh air it already seems' party...
what a beautiful thing a day of sun!
But another alone
more' beautiful not there and'
my sun
and' in forehead to you
The glasses of your window sparkle,
a laundress sings and he boasts...
while it is squeezing, it stretches and it sings.
the glasses of your window sparkle!
But another alone
more' beautiful not there and'
my sun
and' in forehead to you
When evening and the sun tramonta comes,
it attacks me the melancholy...
I would stay under your window,
when it makes evening and the sun tramonta.
But another alone
more' beautiful not there and'
my sun
and' in forehead to you
'o sole mio
Che bella cosa è na jurnata 'e sole,
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca para gia' na festa...
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne',
'o sole mio
sta nfronte a te!
Luceno 'e lastre d''a fenesta toia;
'na lavannara canta e se ne vanta
e pe' tramente torce, spanne e canta,
luceno 'e llastre d''a fenesta toia.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne',
'o sole mio
sta nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase na malincunia;
sotta 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne',
'o sole mio
sta nfronte a te!
