Balla che foza

English translation

Dance like a leaf

Notte luminosa de istellas coronada

Bright night, crowned with stars,

No s’intenden sos muilos de su ‘entu

No sound of the wind is heard.

Tue ben’assentada mòvidas de una fada

You, well dressed, fairy gestures,

Cun s’ojada sola m’istrinas apentu

Give me pleasure just with a glance.

Deo so su ‘entu, tue che foza

I am the wind, you, like a leaf,

Ballend’enis in bratzos mios…

Come dancing into my arms…

Sa conca a pala mujada

My head bent backwards,

Subra su tuju tou s’alenu meu

My breath on your neck,

Pesa sas laras tuas bellas

Raise your nice lips,

Durches che i'su mele subra sas mias

Sweet like honey, on mine.

Balla, balla che una foza

Dance, dance like a leaf

In bratzos de su 'entu, ohh

In the arms of the wind, ohh

Balla, balla che una foza

Dance, dance like a leaf

In bratzos de su 'entu, balla pro me…

In the arms of the wind, dance for me…

Notte luminosa de incantos ammajada

Bright night, charmed by enchantments,

Si tremet s’anima mia in turmentu

My restless soul shivers.

Tue m’as incantada, t’est bastada cuss’ojada

You’ve charmed me, that glance has been enough

Intro de sas venas unu fogu est tentu

To light a blazing fire inside my veins.

Tue ses su 'entu, deo che foza

Ballende in sos bratzos tuos…

That dances in your arms…

Sa conca a pala mujada

Subra su tuju tou s’alenu meu

Fogu mi curret in sas venas

Fire runs through my veins

E subra sa carena sa 'ucca tua

And your lips run on my body.

Ses passione verdadera,

You are a true passion,

In oras de durcura ammaju pro me

In hours of sweetness you’re a charm for me.

Notte luminosa, b’est sa luna chi acherada

Bright night, the moon appears out and

Bettat undas de lugore in cust’apentu

Tue m’as incantada, t’est bastada cuss’ojada

You’ve charmed me, that glance has been enough

Intro de sas venas unu fogu est tentu...

To light a blazing fire inside my veins...
