sun Explanation: The title of the song (written in 1898) is literally "Ah, my sun." It starts as a hymn to sunlight and shifts (not surprisingly) into a love song. Here's the first verse: Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole, n'aria serena doppo na tempesta! Pe' ll'aria fresca pare gia' na festa Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole. |

MY ONLY SUN Explanation: I think I should tell this to my love, I would say MY ONLY SUN. Even if this translation is not literally, however it expresses what the song wants to say. |
