Translation of the song Toccheddos de Coro artist Maria Luisa Congiu
Toccheddos de Coro
Beats of Heart
Chin sos prus bellos versos ti ricamo
With the most beautiful verses, I want embroider for you
Sos sentimentos limpidos de incantu
The limpid feelings of enchantment
Ischis columba, l’ischis, ischis cantu
You know, pure dove, you know, you know how much
T’apo semper amau e cantu t’amo
I’ve always loved you, and how much I love you
Non cherjo, non pretendo, mancu bramo
I don’t want, don't demand, or desire
Chi, bella, m’ames cantu deo t’amo
You to love me, my pretty, as much as I love you
E ti pedo perdonu… perdonu si su coro
And I ask you forgiveness… forgiveness if my heart
No ischit faveddare chin affetu
Can’t speak lovingly
Issu pro tene patit, patit in segretu
It pines for you, pines in secret
Issu pro tene patit penas d’oro
It pines for you in golden pains
A t’ind’ammentas cando in pitzinnìa
Do you remember when, in our childhood,
Bolabamus in artu, in sas istellas,
We flew high, through the stars,
Nandenos solu semper cosas bellas
Always telling each other only nice things
In d’unu chelu tintu ‘e fantasia…
In a sky painted with fantasy…
Su mundu fit arcana sinfonia
The world was an arcane symphony
Ca bi fis solu tue, tue ebbìa
As there were only you, solely you
Como chi sos tocheddos, tocheddos de s’amore
Now that the beats, beats of love
Sun prus craros, su coro est in turmentu
Are clearer, my heart is troubled
Bolat semper in artu, in artu in cada bentu
The candid feeling of love
Su sentimentu candidu de s’amore
Still flies high, high, with every wind
A t’ind’ammentas cando in pitzinnia
Do you remember when, in our childhood,
Bolabamus in artu, in sas istellas…
We flew high, through the stars…
