dusk

Explanation:
It doesn't sound like an English expression. I can only think of dance till sundown/dance till dusk.

blacken the sun

Explanation:
Are you talking about birds?
Producere solen sort sounds very odd to me.

But otherwise it may be referring to the fascinating natural phenomenon that draws tourists from inland and abroad - the black sun or sort sol caused by birds - starlings - flying in large flocks at sunset.

Otherwise, you may be dealing with a translated text about an occult symbol - more context, please!

I don't think it really means to "make the sun black", but rather to keep at something for a long time, like "dance the night away",
