LYRICS: "O Sole Mio"
Ma n'atu sole cchiù bello ohine
O sole mio stanfronte a te
O sole, O sole mio
Stanfronte a te stanfronte a te
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
Ma n'atu sole cchiù bello ohine
O sole mio stanfronte a te
O sole, O sole mio
Stanfronte a te stanfronte a te
Quanno fa note 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
Ma n'atu sole cchiù bello ohine
O sole mio stanfronte a te
O sole, O sole mio
Stanfronte a te tanfronte a te!
Dalida - born Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti, 17 January 1933 – 3 May 1987, in Cairo. Her father Pietro Gigliotti (1904–1945) and Mother Filomena Giuseppina (1904–1971) were born in Serrastretta, Calabria in Italy. Pietro studied music in school and played violin in taverns; Giuseppina was a seamstress. By birth, Dalida automatically gained Italian nationality through jus sanguinis of both Italian parents. Pietro became primo violino at Cairo's Khedivial Opera House, and the family bought a house. On 25 December 1954, Dalila left Egypt for Paris, led her to try singing. Dalida was cast in the film Le Masque de Toutankhamen, directed by Marco de Gastyne, but much more important to her career was a short singing stint that she took on in Paris. She accepted an offer to sing in the intermission between acts at a club, La Villa d'Este, where she was spotted by Bruno Coquatrix, a producer at the Olympia Theater, the largest performing venue in the city, where figures such as Charles Aznavour and Edith Piaf had seen some of their greatest triumphs, and also by radio producer Lucien Morisse. The two took her under their wing. Her best-known songs are "Bambino", Les enfants du Pirée" "Le temps des fleurs", "Darla dirladada", "J'attendrai", and "Paroles, paroles". She is loved by Italian-Americans.
