Translation of the song Ne li monti di Cuscione  artist Sardinian & Corsican Folk

Ne li monti di Cuscione

On the hills of Cuscione

Ci era nata una zitella

A little girl was born

E' lu so cara mammona

And her dear grandmother

Li faccia la nannarella

Cradled her tenderly

E quand'ella l'annannava

These are the wishes

Stu talentu li pricava

She made as she rocked her

Addurmentati parpena

Sleep a little

Allecrezza di mammoni

Grandmother's joy

Chì aghju da allestì la cena

For I must prepare the supper

E' da cosge li piloni

And sew cloaks

Pà u to tintu babbarellu

For your poor little father

E' pà li to fratillonni

And for your big brothers

Quandu andarete spusata

When you get married

Purtarete li frineri

You will carry the distaffs

N'andarete incavalcciata

You will ride in majesty

Cù tutti li mugliaccheri

On horseback with the

Passarete insannicciata

Men of honour

A' caramusa imbuffata

To the sound of bagpipes playing
