Salude Maria ‘e su Sole
Hi Sunny Mary
chi ‘enis a bortaedie
who uses to come in the afternoon
e chene faeddos ammajas.
and to bewitch wordlessly.
Salude Maria ‘e su Sole.
Hi Sunny Mary.
Ub’est su lentholu biancu
Where is the white sheet
chi marcat sa zente pitzinna
that marks children
pro totu su restu ‘e sa vida?
for the rest of their life?
Ub’est su lentholu biancu?
Where is the white sheet?
Si deo no timo, tue ite mi faghes?
If I have no fear, what can you make me?
Mi’che reduis in istranzas terras?
Will you relegate me in foreign lands?
Est bénnidu su tempus de sas paghes
The time has come for peace
e sos pitzinnos non cherent prus gherras.
and children want no more wars.
Maria ’e su sole a sa cara
Sunny Mary, your face
cumparis dechida e galana,
looks nice and graceful,
leas de salude s’intinnu.
but you take away the sign of health.
Maria ’e su sole a sa cara.
Sunny Mary, your face.
Proite ti timet sa zente
Why do people fear you
si as de bellesa simizu
if you look so good
mancari ti cues sos ojos?
although you hide your eyes?
Proite ti timet sa zente?
Why do people fear you?
Si deo no timo, tue ite mi faghes?
If I have no fear, what can you make me?
Mi’che reduis in istranzas terras?
Will you relegate me in foreign lands?
Est bénnidu su tempus de sas paghes
The time has come for peace
e sos pitzinnos non cherent prus gherras.
and children want no more wars.
