Translation of the song Celeste Tesoro artist Sardinian & Corsican Folk
Celeste Tesoro
Celestial treasure
Soberanu impèriu in sa paza postu,
Supreme power laid on the straw,
pro amore nostru patis cativèriu,
Because of your love for us, you're a prisoner,
durche refrizèriu de s’anima mia.
Sweet relief1 of my soul,
Dormi, vida 'e coro, reposa, anninnia.
Sleep, life of my heart, and rest, lull to sleep,
Dormi, vida 'e coro, reposa, anninnia.
Sleep, life of my heart, and rest, lull to sleep
Dormi, dormi, coro, sende coidau,
Sleep, my heart, sleep feeling cared of,
celeste tesoro dae chelu falau.
Celestial treasure, that's come down from the sky,
O tempus gulau, coberi, tittia!
Oh, what a chilly weather, put something on, brrr,
Dormi, vida 'e coro, reposa, anninnia.
Sleep, life of my heart, and rest, lull to sleep,
Dormi, vida 'e coro, reposa, anninnia.
Sleep, life of my heart, and rest, lull to sleep
Reposa Sennore, dormi fizu amadu.
My Lord, rest, my loved son, sleep,
O verbu incarnadu fatu Redentore,
Oh, Incarnate Word made Redeemer,
pro su pecadore batis s’agonia.
Bring agony for those who sin,
Dormi, vida 'e coro, reposa, anninnia.
Sleep, life of my heart, and rest, lull to sleep,
Dormi, vida 'e coro, reposa, anninnia.
Sleep, life of my heart, and rest, lull to sleep
Custu pitzinneddu non portat manteddu,
This child wears no cloak,
non portat manteddu nemancu corittu
He wears no cloak, not even a vest
e in die de frittu non narat: tittia.
And in a cold day doesn't shiver,
Dormi, vida 'e coro, reposa, anninnia.
Sleep, life of my heart, and rest, lull to sleep,
Dormi, vida 'e coro, reposa, anninnia.
Sleep, life of my heart, and rest, lull to sleep
