Paroles et traduction Piero Marras - Mere manna

Mere manna

Mere manna mere mea
Ite nobasa cust'annu
Pro piachere a ti lu leas
Custu sonu prenu 'e affannu
Mere manna mere mea

Imbriacalu custu mundu
Ki'nde falet "abbardente"
E una kida a ballu tundu
Ballet tottu custa zente,
Imbriacalu custu mundu

Rundinedda rundinedda
Naramilu s'in beranu
As a bennere dae innedda
A imbentare su manzanu

Mere manna mere mea
Fala como dae su kelu
Gai ti fakes un'idea
Si su mundu est maccu a beru
Mere manna mere mea

Nois sikimus a sonare
Kin su sambene cuntentu
No lu lesses imbezzare,
Mere mea, custu manentu,
Nois sikimus a sonare.

Rundinedda rundinedda
Naramilu s'in beranu
As a a bennere dae innedda
A imbentare su manzanu

My beloved

My beloved, my dear
Come and listen to me this year
To please you, I shall speak
This song is full of sorrow
My beloved, my dear

Let this world get drunk
With plenty of "strong drink"
And a lively round dance,
Everybody is dancing,
Let this world get drunk

Little swallow, little swallow
You will come back in the summer
And you will come again
To announce the springtime

My beloved, my dear
Speak to me now from Heaven
So that you may understand
If the world is truly mad
My beloved, my dear

We are trying to dream
That happiness may come
Do not let it escape,
My dear, this moment,
We are trying to dream

Little swallow, little swallow
You will come back in the summer
And you will come again
To announce the springtime
