O' Sole Mio Lyrics in English by Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song O' Sole Mio by Dalida from Italian to English.
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'aurore
What a beautiful thing, a dawn sun
Jetant au loin l'éveil de sa lumière
Casting afar its awakening light
Un frisson passe sur la Terre entière
A shiver passes over the whole Earth
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'aurore
What a beautiful thing, a dawn sun
Mais sur mon rêve plus radieux
But on my more radiant dream
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
A sun reigns that I prefer
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Its flame is on your lip
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux !
And its brightness shines in your eyes!
La belle chose qu'un soleil en flammes
What a beautiful thing, a flaming sun
Par les midis d'été brûlant la plaine
During summer noons, burning the plain
Des senteurs chaudes soufflent leur haleine
Warm scents breathe their breath
La belle chose qu'un soleil en flammes !
What a beautiful thing, a flaming sun!
Mais sur mon rêve, plus radieux
But on my dream, more radiant
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
A sun reigns that I prefer
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Its flame is on your lip
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux !
And its brightness shines in your eyes!
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'automne
What a beautiful thing, an autumn sun
Jetant l'adieu du soir aux fleurs lassées
Casting the evening's farewell to the weary flowers
Dans l'âme émue veillent les pensées
In the touched soul, thoughts keep vigil
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'automne !
What a beautiful thing, an autumn sun!
Mais sur mon rêve, plus radieux
But on my dream, more radiant
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
A sun reigns that I prefer
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Its flame is on your lip
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux !
And its brightness shines in your eyes!

Did you like this lyrics translation?
aurore — dawn
Aurore translates to "dawn" or "daybreak". It's a beautiful and somewhat poetic word that evokes images of new beginnings and the first light of day.
In the song, it's used to describe the beauty of the morning sun, setting a romantic and hopeful tone. While "soleil" (sun) is common, "aurore" adds a touch of elegance and specificity that makes it stand out.
