Translation of the song Sa 'oghe 'e Maria artist Piero Marras
Sa 'oghe 'e Maria
The voice of Maria
Sa luna istanotte
The moon tonight
in chelos d’anneu,
is in skies of sadness,
sa mala fortuna
the bad luck
est contras a Deus.
is against God.
Sas fozas d’olia
The olive leaves
no rezen su nie:
can't hold the snow:
est una traschia
it is a storm
de die pro die.
day by day.
Sa 'oghe 'e Maria
The voice of Maria
est una ninnia.
is a lullaby.
Su nìnnidu lentu,
The slow melody,
ammajos d’ammentu,
memory charms,
olvidat s’anneu
so my people
su pópulu meu.
forget their sadness.
S’ammentu si ch’andat
The memory goes away
che abba in su riu,
like water in the river,
sa vida nos colat
life slips away from us
che raju in s’istiu.
like a lightning in summer.
Sucutos de lughe
Screams of light
in s’oru 'e una nue:
on a cloud's outline.
su sole che juchet
The sun spreads them
in chelu totue.
across the sky.
Sa 'oghe 'e Maria
The voice of Maria
est una ninnia.
is a lullaby.
Su ninnidu lentu,
The slow melody,
ammajos d’ammentu,
memory charms,
olvidat s’anneu
so my people
su pópulu meu.
forget their sadness.
Sa 'oghe 'e Maria…
The voice of Maria…
Olvidat s’anneu
So my people
su pópulu meu.
forget their sadness.
