O su Babbu Mannu! Hómine Mannu 'e su chelu! Hómine Mannu, falande ses? Falande ses? Falande ses, Hómine Mannu, in custa terra de sàmbene e dolore ube b'at galu pitzinnos meda chi sun morinde 'e su fàmene, ube sos ocros non bien nudda si non ammentos de umanidade ispérdia in custu bentu de solidale, bentu 'e disamistade; In custa terra de conchimacos ube sa bida non balet nudda, ube sa pache est galu indedda e sos eventos minetan gherra…? Azúdanos, Babbu Nostru Azúdanos! Falande ses, Hómine Mannu, a nos allughere s'anima e a nos batire carchi isperàntzia? Ca b'at bisonzu de sónnios puru in su zilleri de bidda nostra, in su cubile e in sos istatzos. Falande ses Hómine Mannu a nos cantare sa ninna nanna, comente mama fachiat cando beniat Bobboi a 'che furare su sonnu e sa pitzinnia…? Azúdanos, Babbu Nostru Azúdanos! | |

Oh Great Father! Mighty Spirit of heaven! Mighty Spirit, will you come down? Will you come down? Will you come down, Mighty Spirit, to this earth made of blood and pain where still so many children are starving to death, where eyes can see nothing but faint memories of humanity lost in this wind of loneliness, wind of enmity; To this earth full of crazy people where life is worth nothing, where peace is still far away and the events are threatening war…? Help us, Our Father Help us! Will you come down, Mighty Spirit, to light up our souls and bring us some hope? For dreams are also needed in the tavern of our village, in the fold and in the corrals. Will you come down, Mighty Spirit, to sing us a lullaby as mom used to do when the Bogeyman came to steal our sleep and our childhood? Help us, Our Father Help us!
