Chist'è 'o paese d''o sole,
This is the land of the sun,

Tutto, tutto è destino...
All, all is destiny (fate) ...

Comme putevo fá furtuna a ll'estero
How could I have made my fortune in a strange place

s'io voglio campá ccá?
If I want to live my life here?

Mettite 'nfrisco 'o vino!...
Chill the wine!

Tanto ne voglio vévere,
I wouldn't want to live, so much

ca mm'aggi''a 'mbriacá...

... that I would have become a drunkard...

Dint'a sti qquatto mure io stó' cuntento:
Within these four walls I am content;

mamma mme sta vicino e nénna canta:
Mamma mia, stay near me and sing this lullaby:

(chorus) Chist'è 'o paese d''o sole, , etc.

[Hope this helps!]
