Romeo & Juliet

Dae una ventana ses aparida

You have appeared from a window

Ses su sole in s'oriente

Like the sun in the East

Pupia lughente

A shining eye

A cuss'ojada ingroghin finas sas istellas

Facing such a look even the stars are fading

Su chi t'istrino como lu jamo amore

What I’m giving you, I call it love

Est profundu che i’su mare

It’s as deep as the sea

Meda nde rezis, pius ti nde do,

The more you get, the more I give you

E ancora 'nde det restare

And more of it would still remain

Ca ambos duos sun infinidos

Because both of these are endless

Infinidos amore e mare...

Endless love and sea…

Est sa diletta fiamma chi brujat su coro

It’s the dear flame which burns the heart

Est cussu fogu chi atzendet sas venas

It’s that fire which sets the veins aflame

E curret padronu de totu sa carena

And runs seizing the whole body

Amore e pena …

Love and pain…

Est sa diletta fiamma chi brujat su coro

It’s the dear flame which burns the heart

Est cussu fogu chi atzendet sas venas

It’s that fire which sets the veins aflame

E curret padronu de totu sa carena

And runs seizing the whole body

Amore e pena…

Love and pain…

Cussa fiamma an istudadu

That flame has been extinguished

Deo t'apo amadu in custa vida

I loved you in this life

In s'atera t'ap'a chircare...

And in the other one I’ll look for you…

Est sa diletta fiamma chi brujat su coro

It’s the dear flame which burns the heart

Est cussu fogu chi atzendet sas venas

It’s that fire which sets the veins aflame

E curret padronu…

And runs seizing...

Est sa diletta fiamma chi brujat su coro

It’s the dear flame which burns the heart

Est cussu fogu chi atzendet sas venas

ses su sole in s'oriente

A shining eye

A cuss'ojada ingroghin finas sas istellas…
