Translation of the song La Mirinzana artist Sardinian & Corsican Folk

La mirinzana in forru è bona e assai lichitta

The baked eggplant is good and very delicious,

è megliu di ra fava, piú bona di r'anghidda,

is better than the broad bean, is tastier than the eel,

ma si è cundidda bé, cun agliu e pebaroni

but if it’s well sauced with garlic and peppers,

ti friggi umbé ra ganna ra mirinzana ra mirinzana

it burns a lot your ass, the eggplant, the eggplant

ti friggi umbé ra ganna ra mirinzana, andirondindá

it burns a lot your ass, the eggplant, andirondindá

Mi-mirinzana,

Ma poni menti a babbu, lassa r'ariva secca,

But pay heed to dad, let dried olives go,

la fava e ru coccoiddu è cosa ghi no teccia

broad beans and big snails are quite useless things,

piglia ra mirinzana ma poni menti a me,
