Translation of the song Deo ti cheria Maria artist Andrea Parodi
Deo ti cheria Maria
I wanted you to be Maria
Cando torras in domo, tue,
When you come back home,
In sa cara de Madonna
On your Virgin Mary-face
B’at un’umbra indetzifràbile
there is an indecipherable shadow
Unu mistériu indefinìbile
Un undefinable mystery
Totu unu mundu
A whole world
Chi no connosco
that I do not know
A daesegus de sos ogros tuos
Behind your eyes
Tue no ses Maria
You are not Maria
Su siléntziu ch’as tue
The silence of yours
No est cuddu ‘e mama ‘ona
Is not the one of a good mother
Est una calma chi m’assustat
it is a calm that scares me
Chi mi faghet pius fràzile
that makes me more fragile
Unu tormentu
A torment
Chi mi serrat su sentimentu
That closes off my feeling
In coro meu
In my heart
Tue non ses Maria
You are not Maria
E su bene meu sighende
And pursuing my own good
Deo mi perdo in s’oblio
I get lost in oblivion
Unu pitzinnu cando timet
A boy, when he is scared
Si rifùgiat in sos giocàtulos
seeks shelter in toys
Ma faghet male custu jocu
But this game hurts me
Su raggiru chi mi fatho
This way of deceiting myself
Deo ti cheria Maria
I wanted you to be Maria
Deo ti cheria Maria
I wanted you to be Maria
