Translation of the song Armidda artist Piero Marras

Su nuscu 'e s'armidda

The scent of thyme,

a lu leare est unu bonu amparu,

taking it with you is a good protection,

s'ammentu e sa 'idda

so I can feel the memory

deo gai l'intendo finamentras prus giaru.

of my village, even clearer.

Su sonu 'e su 'entu

a l'iscurtare est una 'oghe. Interis

sos bisos d'ausentu

in sos sentidos sun dae tando, che d'heris.

Tue prenda donosa,

You, graceful jewel,

bell'ammaju chene anneu,

coro meu.

fintzas Deus.

Su nuscu 'e s'armidda,

The scent of thyme,

su manu tua chi mi’che leat su dolu

che un'ischintidda
