Translation of the song Festas De Sardigna artist Maria Luisa Congiu
Festas De Sardigna
Parties of Sardinia
Su sole nd’est falende appena s’iscuricadorza no est a tesu
The sun is just falling, the sunset is not far away,
Su passu si faghet lestru torrende a domo mia
The footstep becomes faster while returning home
Apelzo sa janna e intendo in s’aera
I open the door and I feel in the air
Su nuscu ‘e sa festa, cantende e ballende
The scent of the party, singing and dancing
Unu sorrisu in laras intendo naschende
I feel a smile popping up on my lips
Dachi m’ammento chi festa b’at oe...
Because I remember that today it’s a party…
