First of all, thank you very much for voting for my picture in the last music challenge, which made me very, very happy :)))!
Here's the next challenge right away: The song is "O sole mio".
Call me crazy for choosing this song but I am in Rome right now and just heard this song yesterday... Moreover, it should be possible for everyone to take a picture with this theme...
To participate you have to take a picture fitting the song, tag it with "music-challenge11" and post it in this thread (if you want). The challenge ends on Sunday night (14th of August) at midnight, European time, because I'll be gone from Friday to Saturday. I hope I'll be able to post the vote soon after but I apologize in advance for any delays. The picture MUST be taken and uploaded within this week, I cannot consider any photos without date information for the top five, even if your picture really was taken this week.
I'm looking forward to the entries and wish you all good luck and lots of sun :).
Here's the song text in Italian (napolitan dialect) and English:
Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa
Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole.
Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio,
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day!
The air is serene after a storm,
The air is so fresh that it already feels like a celebration.
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day!
But another sun,
that's brighter still,
It's my own sun
that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun,
It's upon your face!
It's upon your face!
When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I almost start feeling melancholy;
I'd stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.
But another sun,
that's brighter still,
It's my own sun
that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun,
It's upon your face!
It's upon your face!
@jannaellen - fabulous song! I sang this (one of 17 songs in different languages) for my recital in University. It's incredibly beautiful. Wonderful choice!!
@jannaellen by date information do you mean how it says "Taken: ... " on the right of the picture? because i think that only happens with digital photography and my entire 365 project is film photography so would i not be considered for this contests/ contests in general (just curious)
