may all beings be well, may all beings be happy: Ninna Nanna

Ni na nana marinare | (!) Go pa varka miezo mare

io te parle nun respun ?| Tiesi perze mie zo sun?

Te vuria ma nya de vasa | Ma pau ra te shi ta ?

Kosi guarde da luntane |Kostu korianan murata

Kuana jias petta | Davertikuesta sera | kosta luna kiena

Kuana cia sok yak | Didirti kuanto tamo

Kostu kore man matu | so nyi kui – ne – blu .

Nina nana marinare | Tu si bel ko meo mare

Avote kalm senza kreste | Avote tuta na tem pesta

Ma tu suon ta te kose | Ekisa se tar u ku or

Ke tra lu mai mieze stele | Yo taspetra brachat perle

Ninna nanna marinare/ lullaby of the sea

'Ngopp a varca, miezo o mare/ on the boat, in the middle of the sea

Io te parl e nun respunn/ I speak but you don't answer

Te si perze miez o suonn/ you're lost in your sleep

Te vurria magna' de vas/ I'd like to cover you with kisses

Ma ho paura e te sceta'/ but I don't want to wake you up

Cosi' guarde da luntane/ So i just look at you

Co' stu core innammurat/ with this heart in love

Quann aggia' spetta/ how long do i have to wait

D'averti questa sera/ for having you tonight

Co'sta luna quiena?/ with this full moon light

Quann aggia ' sogna'/ For how long do i have to dream

Di dirti quanto t'amo/ to tell you how much i love you

Co' stu' core 'man - ma tu -/ with this heart in my hands- but you

sogni qui nel bluuuu.../ you dream here in the blue

Ninna nanna marinare/ lullaby of the sea

Tu si bell comme o' mare/ you're as beautiful as the sea

A vote calm, senza creste/ sometimes calm, without crests

A vote tutta na' tempesta/ sometimes tempestuous

Ma tu suonn d'ate cose/ but you dream of something else

E chissa se t'arricuord/ and who knows if you remember

Che tra a luna e mieze e stelle/ that among the moon and the stars

Io t'aspette a braccia aperte/ i wait for you with open arms
