Sardegna Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sardegna by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
Elisabetta ha gli occhi fatti e un cuore di Sardegna
Elisabetta has stoned eyes and a Sardinian heart
Fra le mani tiene i sogni e una borsetta
In her hands she holds dreams and a handbag
E Patti sa benissimo il francese può sembrare un po' scortese
And Patti knows French very well, she might seem a bit rude
Ma è cresciuto troppo in fretta
But she grew up too fast
Erica è partita dispiaciuta
Erica left upset
Perché un uomo l'ha ferita
Because a man hurt her
E ora le sta chiedendo scusa
And now he's asking her for forgiveness
Ed io rimango solo con la luna
And I remain alone with the moon
Sperando che mi porti ancora un po'
Hoping it brings me a little more
Fortuna
Luck
Ballo si accontenta di una corda
Ballo settles for a rope
Su cui fa l'equilibrista
On which he acts as a tightrope walker
Il che gli riesce molto bene
Which he does very well
Larry è sempre il solito buonista
Larry is always the usual do-gooder
Con le donne è un apprendista
With women he's an apprentice
Senza trucchi né mestiere
Without tricks or skill
Ed il sedere di Selene
And Selene's butt
Sembra fatto apposta per l'amore
Seems made especially for love
Oh qua in Sardegna splende sempre il sole
Oh, here in Sardinia the sun always shines
Anche quando è il caso di far piovere sul cuore
Even when it's time to make it rain on the heart
Le belle donne in cerca di un vestito o di un cognome
Beautiful women looking for a dress or a surname
Sulle barche da sceicco sembran sole
On sheikh's boats they seem lonely
Ma io vorrei cadere fra le gambe
But I'd like to fall between the legs
Di una donna con il viso ancora acceso di stupore
Of a woman with a face still lit up with wonder
E Marta in questo senso è la migliore
And Marta in this sense is the best
Infatti ha il doppio mento e intorno ha un mucchio di persone
In fact she has a double chin and around her she has a bunch of people
Qua in Sardegna regna il buonumore
Here in Sardinia good humor reigns
Anche quando è il caso di nascondere il dolore
Even when it's time to hide the pain

buonumore — good mood / cheerfulness
Buonumore literally translates to "good mood" or "cheerfulness." It's a compound word, combining "buono" (good) and "umore" (mood), which makes it interesting to break down.
In the song, Cesare Cremonini uses it to describe the prevailing atmosphere in Sardinia, even when people might be hiding their pain. He sings, "Qua in Sardegna regna il buonumore / Anche quando è il caso di nascondere il dolore" (Here in Sardinia, good humor reigns / Even when it's necessary to hide the pain), highlighting a resilient and positive spirit.
