Como chi

English translation

Now that

Como chi su sole indorat sa die,

Now that the sun gilds the day,

como chi bi ses tue in s’oru a mie,

now that you are here by my side,

mi paret sa domo mia càndida che i’su nie.

my house looks snow-white.

Como chi torro a domo istracu ma serenu,

Now that I go back home tired but serene

intendo de sa bell’istajone s’alenu,

I feel the breath of the beautiful season,

como chi! Como chi!

now that! Now that!

Como chi semus umpare manu in sa manu,

Now that we are together, hand in hand,

dogni die ’e s’annu paret unu beranu,

each day of the year seems to be a summer,

e biden sos ojos mios su currer de chentu rios,

and my eyes see a hundred rivers running,

falende dae sos montes, de fronte, fiores coloridos.

colored flowers coming down from the mountains in front.

Sa presénzia tua su coro mi consolat,

Your presence comforts my heart,

m’intendo cun sa natura una cosa sola,

I feel I am as one with nature,

como chi! Como chi!

now that! Now that!
