Enrico Caruso: O sole mio (enhanced)

Recorded 5th of February 1916. “O sole mio“ is a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898. The lyrics were written by Giovanni Capurro, and the melody was composed by Eduardo di Capua. Though there are versions in other languages, “O sole mio“ is usually sung in the original Neapolitan language. “O sole mio“ is the Neapolitan equivalent of standard Italian “Il sole mio“ and translates literally as “My Sun“ (not “Oh My Sun“). Neapolitan Lyrics: Che bella cosa e’ na jurnata ’e sole n’aria serena doppo na tempesta! Pe’ ll’aria fresca pare già na festa Che bella cosa e’ na jurnata ’e sole Ma n’atu sole, cchiù bello, oje ne’ ’O sole mio sta ’nfronte a te! ’O sole, ’o sole mio sta ’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 restarria quanno fa notte e ’o sole se ne scenne. Ma n’atu sole, cchiù bello, oje ne’ ’O sole mio sta ’nfronte a te! ’O sole, ’o sole mio sta ’nfronte a te! sta ’nfronte a te! English Translation: W
