Translation of the song Nights In White Satin artist Elena Ledda

Lughet sa frama

A shining blade

Dae sa manu si ruet

Falls from my hand.

Farche de luna

Crescent moon:

Trigu sos pilos tuos.

Your hair is scythed wheat

E in su laore

And in the harvest

Donzi ranu so deo.

I am every grain.

Cale est su justu,

Which is the right thing,

Dae ue naschit pro a mie?

Where does it spring from, for me?

Ite narant

What are

Cussas laras?

Those lips saying?

Ite narant?

What are they saying?

Semus tot'unu

We are one thing

E su sambene est nou

And our blood is new:

Naschire umpare

Being born together

Chin su tou, chin su meu.

With my blood, with yours.

Como ses solu meu

You are only mine now

Prus niunu ti leat

Nobody will take you away anymore

Potho ligare

I can bind

S'umbra mea in sa tua

My shadow to yours.

Ite narant

What are

Cussas laras?

Those lips saying?

Ite narant?

What are they saying?

Gai custu ‘asu

So, this kiss

Non si movet dae a tie

Won’t leave you.

Presa in in sos ojos

Prisoner of its eyes,

Sa bellesa non fuet.

The beauty can’t escape.

Beni in sa notte

Come here in the night,

Ses prus jara che mai

You are clearer than ever

Como ch'inghelat

Now that the night falls

Chena sole, ne die

Without sun or day

Ite narant

What are

Cussas laras?

Those lips saying?

Ite narant?

What are they saying?
