“We want a peace tree,

un’àrbor’e sole caente.

A tree of warm sunshine.

Noll’imbias un’àrbore ’e luna?

Will you send us a moon tree?

Cherimus un’àrbore ’e luche

We want a tree of light,

beranile, bestiu ‘e lentore,

Vernal, dress in dew,

chin chentu puzones nidande”

With a hundred birds nesting”

Naran jocande sos chimbe orfaneddos

So say the five little orphans playing

chin càndida boche de nibe,

With a pure, snow-white voice,

sos chimbe orfaneddos jocande.

“O puru una màchina ‘e sole

chi fràvichet mizas d’isteddos

cando aperin sa janna sos tronos”
