Lantias, Elena Ledda, 2018
Heart of mine open the Spring
by love keys,
tulips and peonies
run together to embrace me.
Proud to be beautiful
I am headed for your tower
singing my flowers for you
come, Life, to come into view
ay ma vie, ay ma vie, mi reina, ay ma vie
ay ma vie, mi sol, ay, ay ma vie
ay mi coloreada, cachito of the corazòn
Hands are leaving to reach the Summer
passing on your skin,
red and white roses
are now your caresses.
Let me be the gardener
to sow your flesh
and plow, Land of mine,
your furrows by strong kisses
ay ma vie, ay ma vie, mi reina, ay ma vie
ay ma vie, mi sol, ay ma vie,
ay mi coloreada, cachito del corazòn
Autumn seeks for
Winter’s embrace
while denuding itself,
in my reddish purple castle
you will find a warm mansion.
Let us go, my king, towards south
with this bouquet of flowers
and in our fruitful wombs
a sweet scent of zagara.
