Translation of the song S'aurora de abrile artist Maria Giovanna Cherchi
S'aurora de abrile
The Dawn of April
Sun dae s’aurora illuminadas sas baddes totus
All the valleys are illuminated by the dawn
E in donzi costa unu puzone a s’àteru risposta
And in every slope a bird is replying
Est dende cun sas notas moduladas.
To another with modulated notes
E in su lentore làgrimas faladas
And in the dew, teardrops seem
Paren dae su chelu a bella posta
To have fallen from the sky
Pro commuover sa zente coritosta
Just to move the hard-hearted people
Ch’ogni bellesa cuntemplat de badas.
Who in vain contemplate any beauty
Isparinde sos ùrtimos isteddos
The last stars are vanishing
Sun in su firmamentu ca ispuntare
In the firmament as the sun
Su sole depet in sos rizoleddos.
Is going to appear over the creeks
S’abba lughida solet murmurare
The bright water uses to whisper
E sos prus soaves bentigheddos
And the most gentle breezes
Faghen sas friscas frunzas tremulare.
Make the fresh leafy branches float
E in su lentore làgrimas faladas
And in the dew, teardrops seem
Paren dae su chelu a bella posta
To have fallen from the sky
Pro commuover sa zente coritosta
Just to move the hard-hearted people
Ch’ogni bellesa cuntemplat de badas.
Who in vain contemplate any beauty
Isparinde sos ùrtimos isteddos
The last stars are vanishing
Sun in su firmamentu ca ispuntare
In the firmament as the sun
Su sole depet in sos rizoleddos.
Is going to appear over the creeks
S’abba lughida solet murmurare
The bright water uses to whisper
E sos prus soaves bentigheddos
And the most gentle breezes
Faghen sas friscas frunzas tremulare...
Make the fresh branches float…
