Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'o sole, 'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!


* It's now or never, come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling, be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late, it's now or never
My love won't wait.


When I first saw you with your smile so tender
My heart was captured, my soul surrendered
I've spent a lifetime waiting for the right time
Now that you're near the time is here at last.


* Repeat


Just like a willow, we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me, let your arms invite me
For who knows when we'll meet again this way


* Repeat


It's now or never my love won't wait.
It's now or never my love won't wait.
It's now or never my love won't wait.


Italian lyrics


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.


Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!


Lùcene 'e llastre d''a fenesta toia;
'na lavannara canta e se ne vanta
e pe'tramente torce, spanne e canta
lùcene '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;
sotto 'a festa 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!
