Translation of the song Perdònanos artist Maria Luisa Congiu

Tue chi ses Maria

You who are Mary,

Una manu tesa a cussa rughe

A hand reaching out to that cross

Fizu tou, Jesùs

Your son, Jesus.

Lamentosa 'e sucutos sa 'oghe

A voice is wailing with sighs.

Sa mama pianghet su fizu afflita,

The afflicted mother mourns her son,

Sa carena in sos benujos ruta.

Her body fell down on her knees.

Piedosa s’ojada

Pitiful was the gaze

Sua chi s’artzaìat a chelu.

That she raised to heaven.

Dae sa rughe sa pregunta

From the cross the request

De lu jamare a s’ùrtimu 'olu.

To call him to the last flight.

E si ch’andat s’alenu 'e sa vida,

And the breath of life goes away,

Sa suplica dae Deus acollida.

The supplication is granted by God.
