Текст и перевод песни Elena Ledda - Cantede s'amore

Cantede s'amore

Che una rundine lizera
Cheria in altu olare
E che sirena cantare
In custa notte a s'aera

Nd'apo su coro pienu
De dulche e bell'armonia
E dae sa oghe mia
Nd'essit su cantu serenu

Notte giara e luminosa
Lughen istellas e luna
E paret chi sa fortuna
Beneigad' ogni cosa

Ogni campagna in fiore
Ogni carrela è mudada
E deo vivo incantada
Sa dulzuras de s'amore

Non chelzo oe pensamentos
Ne piantos ne dolore
Chelzo cantare s'amore
Senza penas e turmentos

Canto serena e festosa
Canto boghes de allegria
Tottu incantu e poesia
Es custa notte diciosa

È s'amore chi apo in coro
Che fiorida primavera
Es custa sa gioia vera
Es custu veru tesoru

Non bi tenzo bramosia
Pro sa' ricchesas, peruna!
Apo in coro ogni fortuna
Cun s'amore è gioia mia

E che rundine lizera
Cheria in altu olare
E che sirena cantare
In custa notte a s'aera

Song of Love

Like a swallow, light and free,
That soars through the air so high,
And like a siren's song,
In this night, beneath the sky.

From a heart that's full of bliss,
With melody so sweet and fine,
And from my voice,
A serenade, divine.

Night, so bright and clear,
Stars and moon, their watch draw near,
And it seems that fortune's grace,
Blesses all within this space.

Every field is blooming,
Every path is new,
And enchanted, I live,
In the sweetness of love's true.

No thoughts of worry or of pain,
No sorrow or lament,
I'll sing of love's sweet refrain,
Without a care or discontent.

I sing with joy and delight,
My voice carries songs of glee,
All enchantment and poetry,
On this night, so rare and free.

It's the love within my heart,
That blossoms like springtime's flower,
This is true joy,
This is the treasure, my greatest power.

I have no desire,
For wealth or riches beyond compare,
For in my heart, I hold every prayer,
With love, my joy is here.

And like a swallow, light and free,
That soars through the air so high,
And like a siren's song,
In this night, beneath the sky.
