Текст и перевод песни Elena Ledda - Palchi no torri

Palchi no torri

Proite an cuau su mare
In custa terra curtza 'e sole?
Sa unda est un pizu 'e sale
Serente a custas renas mias.

Boghes e sonos de carrela
Brincan impare a sa ventana
A fagher dantza chin s'ispera,
Chin su chi restat 'e sa gana
Chi movet custa nae mia.

Palchì no torri, tempu andatu?
Proite no torras, pitzinnia?
Supra lu cori meu paldutu
Comenti la passacci dia.

Palchì no torri, ciòani moru,
Palchì avà la dì s'imbruna
E no s'intendi più lu sonu?
Sopra li stazzi non v'è luna.

Si paghe das, paghe ti do
In su Limbara pianta un àrbure pro me,
Àrbure 'e rughe, paghe mi da
Che una mirada e un'umbra 'e domo siat pro me.

E deo mi seu gioga' sa luna,
In d'una notte niedda 'e binu
Curriat de palas sa fortuna,
Rànchidu mele m'at lassau.

E proite già no ghetas caltas
Si como no potho giogare?
Signores, falas majarza:
A ite mi cheres trampare?
Si perdo deo no binches tue.

Palchì no torri, tempu andatu?
Proite no torras, pitzinnia?
Supra lu riu meu paldutu
Comenti la passacci dia.

Si paghe das, paghe ti do
In su Limbara pianta un àrbure pro me,
Àrbure 'e rughe, paghe mi dat
Che una mirada e un'umbra 'e domo siat pro me.

Si paghe das, paghe ti do
In mesu 'e mare pianta un àrbure pro me,
Àrbure 'e rughe, boghe mi dat
Che una mirada e un'umbra 'e domo siat pro me.

Si paghe das, paghe ti do
In mesu 'e mare pianta un àrbure pro me,
Àrbure 'e rughe, boghe mi dat
Che una mirada e un'umbra 'e sonos siat pro me.

Why don't you return?

Why do you leave the sea
In this land, short of sun?
The wave is a pinch of salt
Feeling these my veins.

Voices and sounds of tile
They dance together at the window
To make a dance with hope,
With what remains of the desire
That moves this my soul.

Why don't you return, time gone?
Why don't you return, little one?
On my pale heart
As the day passes by.

Why don't you return, dark-haired man,
Why now the day is getting dark
And you can't hear the sound anymore?
There is no moon above the roofs.

If you give me peace, I will give you peace
Plant a tree for me in the Limbara,
A tree of wrinkles, give me peace
So that a look and a shadow of a house may be for me.

And I am playing with the moon,
In a dark night of wine
Fortune ran with the blades,
Honeyed rancidity left me.

And why don't you wear shoes
If you can't play?
Gentlemen, speak truly:
What do you want me to pretend?
If I lose, you don't win.

Why don't you return, time gone?
Why don't you return, little one?
On my pale heart
As the day passes by.

If you give me peace, I will give you peace
Plant a tree for me in the Limbara,
A tree of wrinkles, give me peace
So that a look and a shadow of a house may be for me.

If you give me peace, I will give you peace
Plant a tree for me in the middle of the sea,
A tree of wrinkles, give me peace
So that a look and a shadow of a house may be for me.

If you give me peace, I will give you peace
Plant a tree for me in the middle of the sea,
A tree of wrinkles, give me peace
So that a look and a shadow of sounds may be for me.
