ite nobas cust’annu?

Pro piachere a ti lu leas

Please, will you take away

custu sonnu prenu 'e affannu?

Mere manna, mere mea,

Great lady, my lady,

imbriacalu custu mundu,

make this world drunk,

ch'inde falet abbardente

e una chida a ballu tundu

and may all these people dance

ballet totu custa zente.

Imbriacalu custu mundu.

Make this world drunk.

Rundinedda, rundinedda

Little swallow, little swallow,

naramilu s’in beranu

as a benner dae innedda

you will come from afar

a imbentare su manzanu.

Great lady, my lady,

fala como dae su chelu

Mere manna, mere mea,

Great lady, my lady,

nois sichimus a sonare

no lu lesses imbetzare,

my Lady, don’t let

mere mea, custu mamentu.

Nois sichimus a sonare.

Little swallow, little swallow,

naramilu s’in beranu

as a benner dae innedda

you will come from afar

a imbentare su manzanu.

to invent the morning.
