de sa campana

of the bell

de sa cresiedda mia;

of my little church;

comenti su spìritu

like a spirit

sentz'e cunsolu e gosu.

with no solace or joy.

Una boxi

A voice

sempri piedosa e arcana,

that is always merciful and arcane,

peus de su trumentu

de s’ànima in pena,

of a restless soul,

mellus de sa carìtzia

better than the caress

de s’amori!

of love!

A voice as delightful

comenti su sonnu

as the sleep

in su corpus cansau.

E torra tui,

And come back, you,

o boxi cara, o boxi santa,

dear voice, holy voice,

a sa domu nosta

to our home

po biviri impari

so that we can live again, together,

s’armonia

the harmony

de su tempus passau.

of the past.
