Lyrics: Domenico Furnò.

Year: 1957


Napule nun c'è balcone senza sciure 'e rrose,
Nun c'è figliola senza 'o pizzo a riso,
Nun ce sta core ca nun dice: "Trase!"
E arape 'e bbraccia pure a chi è scurtese.
Chist'è 'o paese mio… chist'è 'o paese…

Napule, sole mio,
Tu luce dint'a ll'uocchie 'e tutt' 'o munno.
Ccose nun viste maje: 'na primmavera sì
'A vierno e autunno.

Napule, sole mio,
Tu lieve ll'odio e miette 'a passiona
Sulo cu 'nu mutivo 'e 'na canzona.

Napule, tu può dà pace a chi nun tene pace
E daje a 'na vocca 'nu felillo 'e voce.
Si è 'ntussucuso ammore, è pe' 'nu poco.
Quann'è celest' 'o cielo ca t' 'o dice:
"Io voglio a casa mia gente felice".

Napule, sole mio,
Tu luce dint'a ll'uocchie 'e tutt' 'o munno.
Ccose nun viste maje: 'na primmavera sì
'A vierno e autunno.

Napule, sole mio,
Tu lieve ll'odio e miette 'a passiona
Sulo cu 'nu mutivo 'e 'na canzona.

In Naples there's no balcony without roses,
There's no girl without smile,
There's no one who doesn't say you: "Come in!"
Even who is unkind is welcomed with open arms.
It's my land… it's my land…

Naples, my sun,
You are the shine in the eyes of the world.
You give the incredible things: the spring lasts
Even in the winter and autumn.

Naples, my sun,
You remove the hatred and bring the passion
With just a melody of a song.

Naples, you can give peace to who has no peace
You make any person sing even in a low voice.
If love is painful it's only for a short time.
When the sky is clear it says:
"I want to see here happy people".

Naples, my sun,
You are the shine in the eyes of the world.
You give the incredible things: the spring lasts
Even in the winter and autumn.

Naples, my sun,
You remove the hatred and bring the passion
With just a melody of a song.
