Verse 1: Che bella cosa ’na iurnata ’e sole,
N’aria serena doppo ’na tempesta!
Pe’ ll’aria fresca pare già ’na festa...
Che bella cosa ’na iurnata ’e sole.

Chorus: Ma n’atu sole, chiù bello, ohinè,
‘O sole mio sta ’nfronte a te!
‘O sole, ’O sole mio
Sta nfronte a te! Sta nfronte a te!

Verse 3: Quanno fa notte e ’o sole se ne scenne,
Mme vene quase ’na malincunia;
Sotto ’a fenesta toia restarria
Quanno fa notte e ’o sole se ne scenne.

There’s No Tomorrow
Verse 1: Love is a flower that blooms so tender,
Each kiss a dew drop of sweet surrender.
Love is a moment of life enchanting.
Let’s take that moment that tonight is granting.

Chorus: There’s no tomorrow when love is new
Now is forever when love is true.
So kiss me and hold me tight.
There’s no tomorrow, there’s just tonight.

It’s Now Or Never
Verse 1: When I first saw you with your smile so tender,
My heart was captured, my soul surrendered.
I’d spend a lifetime waiting for the right time.
Now that you’re near the time is here at last.

Chorus: 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.

Verse 2: 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
