• 10:3810:38, 27 May 2019 diff hist +14 'O sole mio ''O" is the Neapolitan definite article and is _not_ translatable as "oh". Also, in neither Italian nor Neapolitan is the literal meaning of the word "sole" limited to just "sun". My Zingarelli lists "luce solare" ("sunlight" or "sunshine") as one of its established meanings.
