Translation of the song Pandela artist Piero Marras

Si ses in custa pandela,

If you belong to this flag

chi fizat e s'assimizat a custu populu,

that gives birth to and resembles these people

chi benit dae logos caentes

coming from warm places

Chie est, chie est custa zente?

Who are they? Who are these people?

Chizas nieddas chi in foras isetan,

Dark eyebrows waiting outside,

e totus a sa sola sun pranghende.

and they are all crying alone.

Unu ballu, unu sonu, una limba

One dance, one sound, one language

chi amus a faeddare e amus a cantare tot'a nou.

that we’ll speak and we’ll sing anew.

Pro pandela ocros de pitzinna

Girl's eyes as a flag

chi amus a azudare a creschere in su mundu nou.

that we’ll help to grow up in a new world.

Unu ballu, unu sonu, una limba

One dance, one sound, one language

chi amus a pintare custu mundu tot'a nou.

with which we’ll paint this world anew.

Cantende je-la-la-la-lala-je-la-la-la,

Singing ye-la-la-la-lala-ye-la-la-la

riende je-la-la-la-lala-je-la-la-la.

Laughing ye-la-la-la-lala-ye-la-la-la

Si tue, si tue l'as in mente,

If you, if you cherish it

ispàrghela, contipízala, fache chi leet sos bolos de sos bentos.

spread it, take care of it, let it take flight in the wind.

Tue ses pandela, pandela, pandela.

You are the flag, flag, flag

Si tue, si tue non l'intendes,

If you can’t feel it,

su coro narat e ti preguntat,

your heart says and asks you about it,

costois sa cara e fues, ma dae ite?

you hide your face and flee, but from what?

Unu ballu, unu sonu, una limba

One dance, one sound, one language

chi amus a faeddare e amus a cantare tot'a nou.

that we’ll speak and we’ll sing anew.

Pro pandela ocros de pitzinna

Girl's eyes as a flag

chi amus a azudare a creschere in su mundu nou.

that we’ll help to grow up in a new world.

Cantende je-la-la-la-lala-je-la-la-la,

Singing ye-la-la-la-lala-ye-la-la-la

riende je-la-la-la-lala-je-la-la-la.

Laughing ye-la-la-la-lala-ye-la-la-la

Cantende je-la-la-la-lala-je-la-la-la,

Singing ye-la-la-la-lala-ye-la-la-la

riende je-la-la-la-lala-je-la-la-la.

Laughing ye-la-la-la-lala-ye-la-la-la

Tue ses pandela, pandela, pandela.
