Translation of the song S'Attitu artist Maria Giovanna Cherchi

Mi est mancadu su sole, l’an ispentu

I miss the sun, they have put it out

Frimadu ti an su coro e i’su sorrisu

They’ve stopped your heart and your smile

Non ti ascurto pius lassende sa domo salva

I can no longer hear you leaving our home safe

Como dromis sentza fine, tue, frade

Now you are endlessly sleeping, you, my brother

Fist ‘onu e valente, o frade meu

You were good and brave, my brother

Fist bellu e prudente in sa veridade

You were handsome and prudent in the truth

Contra sos coros malignos at pèrdidu su mirtu

Against the malicious hearts, the myrtle

E i’su profumu de su altupianu

And the scent of the highland have lost

Oh morte t’at colpidu custa ‘orta

Oh, the death has hit you this time

An truncadu su fiore de domo nostra

They’ve cut off the flower of our home

S’àrbure ‘e sa pitzinnia, s’àrbure amiga e forte

The tree of youth, the friendly and strong tree

A s’umbra pius no mi potho umbrare

In its shade I can no longer stay

S’àrbure ‘e sa pitzinnia, s’àrbure amiga e forte

The tree of youth, the friendly and strong tree

Deus ja mi l’at truncada

God has broken it down
