The voice of Maria

Sa luna istanotte

The moon tonight

In chelos d’anneu

Is in skies of sadness,

Sa malafortuna

The oak in its glory

A power that all fear

Will whisper so purely

That day when we hear

Sa ‘oghe ‘e Maria

The voice of Maria

So soft, sweet, how near

.

Su nìnnidu lentu

The slow melody

Away casting sadness

Olvidat s’anneu

He forgets his sadness

Ave Mara

Abounding with mercy

To lead through the storm

Sa vida nos colat

Life slips away from us

Che raju in s’istìu

Like a lightning in summer

And free from temptation

.

The path, sure, we’ll find

.

Su sole che juchet

The sun takes them

In chelu totue.

All over the sky

The voice of Maria

Est una ninnia

It is a lullaby

That brings us forgiveness

Ammajos d’ammentu

Memory charms

Rejoice, sing out clear

So soft, sweet, how near

Rejoice, sing out clear
