Translation of the song Pesa su ballu artist Elena Ledda

Pesa su ballu chi faghimus festa, illeriamus totus sas carreras.

Start the dance, let’s party, we’ll mess up all the streets

Dae sa zitade a i’sa foresta

From the city to the forest

Dae su cuile a i‘sa minera

From the fold to the mine

Su ballu nostru, bellu che bandera

Our dance, as beautiful as a flag

Chi siat torradu tundu a sa lestra

Let’s turn it quickly into a circle

Marca su logu ue tue ses

Mark the place where you are

Tumba su passu, unu duos e tres

Beat the step, one, two and three

Pesa su pede e move sa carena

Raise your foot, move your body

Chi tempus andat a tumba, e chene paghe

‘Cause time goes to the grave, and incessantly

Su ballu zirat e non b’at manera

The dance spins, and there’s no way

De lu firmare si non ti piaghet

To stop it if you don’t like it

Sorvet su coro, fachet a bisera

It melt your heart, it frolics

Como, si cheres, su chi cheres faghe

Now, if you want, do what you want

Ca tempus andat e non b’at cussolu

‘Cause time goes and there’s no comfort

In cust’istare a banda m’inde solu

In this staying alone on my own
