[English]

Shine on me, shine brightly

Even if you leave forever, even if you change

Don't say that, please don't say that

Please don't go forever, don't die

Oh ego Dormio, your warmth is still with me

(ego dormio)

Oh that’s Maria, only you can make me feel this way

Don't be afraid, even if the storm rages

That won't extinguish

O Sole Mio Te Quiero

You can't cover my sun

I can't breathe, I can't escape

O Sole Mio Te Quiero

You’re my sun, oh my lady

I can't forget

O Sole Mio (oh ya ya ya ya)

O Sole Mio (oh ya ya ya ya)

Oh, you’re my sun, wherever you go

You shine on me, oh my lady

Even in the darkness

O Sole Mio

Let’s talk about I’m just living in yours

(Just baby don’t cry)

Today, you and I are in sync

Going out so hot, confidently, I melt again today

Always, you make me who I am

Everything in my life starts with you, every day

I’m living in yours, between my nose and forehead

Forever, you’re O Sole Mio Mio Mio

Oh ego Dormio, your warmth is still with me

(ego dormio)

Oh that’s Maria, only you can make me feel this way

Don't be afraid, even if the storm rages

That won't extinguish

O Sole Mio Te Quiero

You can't cover my sun

I can't breathe, I can't escape

O Sole Mio Te Quiero

You’re my sun, oh my lady

I can't forget

O Sole Mio

It's blinding, I can't look at you

I close my eyes

Only you, lady, yeah yeah yeah

Save me in the darkness

Now hold my hand, embrace me warmly

Always shine on me

Save me every day

O Sole Mio Te Quiero

You can't cover my sun

I can't breathe, I can't escape

O Sole Mio Te Quiero

You’re my sun, oh my lady

I can't forget

O Sole Mio (oh ya ya ya ya)

O Sole Mio (oh ya ya ya ya)

Oh, you’re my sun, wherever you go

You shine on me, oh my lady

Even in the darkness

O Sole Mio

비춰줘 날 환히 비춰줘

영원히 떠나간대도 변해간대도

말아줘 그러지 말아줘

영원히 가지 말아줘 지지 말아줘

Oh ego Dormio 아직 네 온기가 가득해

(ego dormio)

Oh that’s Maria 너만이 나를 뜨겁게 하네

겁내지 마 비바람이 몰아쳐도

꺼지지 않는

O Sole Mio Te Quiero

넌 내 태양 가릴 수 없어

숨이 턱턱 막혀와 피할 수 없어

O Sole Mio Te Quiero

넌 내 태양 oh my lady

내 모든 것들은 너로 시작돼 매일매일

I’m living in yours 코와 이마 사이

언제든 날 비춰줘
