A Hundred Golden Guitars

Singing of a star in the heaven
Singing of a voice that decided it
Give my love to the light of the firmament
 
Singing of a timeless man
Singing of a joyless master
You know my soul better than anyone
 
Ah, we’ll dance
We’ll feel a joyful heart
Ah, we’ll hope
We’ll dream with God
 
You’ve been a friend of stones
And now that you’re a light, you can feel
The truth that our souls are looking for
 
I want to caress you from here
Now you can hear the music of the sun
Close your eyes, the moon is playing for you
 
Ah, we’ll sleep
We’ll dream with you
Ah, we’ll wake up
We’ll dance with God
Ah, we’ll hear in our hearts…
 
A hundred guitars are playing
The angels are laughing, dancing in a circle
 
Let me fly
 
Wind that bring peace
Help us to listen to the songs
 
Voices that sing memories
May be felt the presence you have left
 
I want to hear
 
Guitar chords that cross the time
That sparkle eternally
In the golden land, forever
 
Mates of a girlfriend that you have left
As a queen of the heaven, she went back to you
And a thousand memories went back to the house of peace
 
Ah, we’ll dance
We’ll feel a joyful heart
Ah, we’ll hope
We’ll dream with God
Ah, we’ll hear in our hearts…
 
A hundred guitars are playing
The angels are laughing, dancing in a circle

Wind that bring peace

The Art of Dreams

maybe it is right to throw everything to the wind
but you don't realize we're already losing
years of complicity and mistakes
that then committed together do not seem many
you understand fully how much it costs us
resist time and all its sins
 
Swear to me it won't be just our mistake
pretending to feel good while everything is moving
years will pass and we will not want to be grown-ups
while whoever teaches us love will be too careful
not to make mistakes and we will learn the art of dreams
to go back to believing
that something great exists
and it can happen to us
if you want
 
now we're here and it's ending
we will return at the dawn of another time
and we, without courage, have swept away your cold sunset
in this sky of ours
that looked different
 
Swear to me it won't be just our mistake
pretending to feel good while everything is moving
years will pass and we would not want to be grown-ups
while who will teach us love will be too careful
not to make mistakes and we will learn the art of dreams
to go back to believing
that there is something great
and it can happen to us
 
and we'll have days to burn
fall in love until you laugh at all that has been
and we will have nights and dreams to hug each other
to embrace us again *
 
and we will learn the art of dreams
to go back to believing
that there is something great
and it can happen to us
 
Swear to me it won't be just our mistake
pretending to feel good while everything is moving
years will pass and we would not want to be grown-ups
while who will teach us love will be too careful
not to make mistakes and we will learn the art of dreams
to go back to believing
that there is something great
and it can happen to us
 
if then
and we will learn the art of dreams
 

How Much I'd Like

How much I'd like you to send me a message now,
(I'm) sitting here at home and waiting, and nothing happens at all.
Why does it have to be so difficult? Just say yes or not, fuck it.
I don't want you to fudge me, enough with this game.
 
We were sitting in front of candles on the beach, drinking beer from plastic cups.
Before I even had the chance to start talking, you got a phone call from someone else.
The heat got slowly to my head, the Moroccan side burst out again,
so I took the chair and hit her head with it.
Jk, no, that did not happen, I am not that insane.
It's just bummed out the start,
but I said, let's go on with it, it isn't too bad, yeahh
 
So we continued talking, but really, I was just looking for a moment I could get close,
and kiss you on the mouth.
A big and sweet kiss,
to give you a wet kiss and to bit your lips till we both drop off off our feet.
 
But none of this happened, instead I chickened out and chocked like a little girl,
now one has to go back to the beginning and to realise the mistake isn't you.
What did I ask for after all? You screaming on a plastic bed,
so we don't dirty up the sheets, maybe the face a little bit.
 
Now I'm going to sleep alone, with a bit of soap and the sexual member in my hand,
instead of writing another love song, I decide to attack back.
 
Sweetie, don't take it personally, the wheels indeed turn
and when you come looking for me, I will no longer be here.
I'll be in South American, with a joint in one hand, and a beer in the other.
Instead of being satisfied with one out of a thousand, I'll spend every day with someone else.
 

My ex

I met my ex on the street
tonight, by chance
Thus we went to a cafe
and he offered me a drink
It's amazing how he remained
the usual crazy
with an innocent air
while I was calm outside
but I was shaking inside.
 
A wealth of many secrets
and old talks
made us look like two accomplices
funny and a little lost
He asked me about you
then he told me
that he has a woman now
whom he loves and likes
and that basically, among many problems,
he is a happy man.
 
You know, I don't know what it is
maybe a little jealousy
but I regret knowing he's happy
even without me.
 
You know, I don't know what it is
maybe a little jealousy
but I regret knowing he's happy
even without me.
 
It was strange though
to see him so closely
with those eyes I wanted
for my baby
He spoke and spoke and I laughed
and so for a moment
it almost seemed
that between us all the time
hadn't really passed.
 
Then, when I realized it,
I got scared
and so I suddenly left him
and I almost rushed away
and I ran the road
to ask you for help
to hold you close to me
and I say to myself:
'I love you, I love you, I love nobody else but you!'
 
You know, I don't know what it is
maybe too much imagination
but I regret knowing he's happy
even without me.
 
You know, I don't know what it is
maybe I think he 'was mine'
but I regret knowing he's living
even without me.
 

Only one

How should I know that I'm not walking this paths alone?
Are there so many that are looking for what I?
'Cause if I just wander, but the path is already known...
Please, tell me why do you think I'm the only one?
 
How should I know that my star hasn't got a name?
And maybe her glow leaves me in the dark.
Is it mine if belongs to everyone?
Please, tell me why do you think I'm the only one?
 
Maybe the treasure that I'm looking for
Is already found.
Ooo, ooo
Maybe the empire that you're building
Is meant to for someone else,
And I don't know that.
 
How should I know how much time needs to pass?
And whether my song has already been sung to someone?
So just tell me when I'm all yours now,
Am I good, or the best?
 
Maybe the treasure that I'm looking for
Is already found.
Ooo, ooo
Maybe the empire that you're building
Is meant to for someone else,
And I don't know that.
 

When Love Prevails

Every night and day
We prayed wholeheartedly
We looked for strenght inside us
For love to prevail
 
No, we are not afraid now
Cause we heard a voice from heaven
Long way is in front of us
But you need to be strong!
 
[Chorus]
Cause miracles exist
Believe in them
And the dreams will come true
The good in us will chase away evil
You can change everything
When love prevails
 
There is so much evil
In the world we live in
Like any trace of light
Disappeared
But here I stand
And the heart is overwhelmed now
I believe and I know well
That world will become better
 
[Chorus]
 
When you're sad, when you're alone
You know it's not easy
To find a way on which sun shines
Because when it's dark and you're scared
You must escape evil
Be strong, defeat fear
Then all the love is in front of you!
 
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
 
When love prevails!
 

Sardinians

Tonight, mama,
I’ve heard famous men
Singing
In a chorus with God.
 
Give me back my life,
Great voice of the heaven.
Till my departure
May the pain be sweet to me.
 
Sardinians who bear their land in their hearts
Sardinian is their blood
Sardinians like rocks, fighting everywhere
Strong souls, just like you
 
Tonight, mama,
We’re all together.
Only one wish,
That of the Sardinians like you.
 
Sons of history
Sons of unity
We are the memory
We’re today, we’re tomorrow
 
Sardinians who bear their land in their hearts
Sardinian is their blood
Sardinians like rocks, fighting everywhere
Strong souls, just like you (x2)
 

What kind of Christmas is it?

How many roads around me
A thousand lights on you
I fell the energy of the people who
In their world are looking for themselves
 
I’m thinking of every idea that gives
A bit of Christmas to the child in me
Happy Christmas time
Oh Silent Night
Jingle Bells all the way, my boy
 
What kind of Christmas is it, if it snows
inside your soul, inside you?
It’s a Christmas that you can’t forget
If a music leads me to you
 
How many things you have
But you live in them and don’t see it
There is a perfume that
Brings you back to yourself
And so many people are looking for themselves
 
What kind of Christmas is it, if it snows
inside your soul, inside you?
It’s a Christmas that you can’t forget
If a music leads me to you
 
Happy Christmas time
Oh Silent Night
Jingle Bells all the way, my boy
 
What kind of Christmas is it, if it snows
inside your soul, inside you?
It’s a Christmas that you can’t forget
If a music leads me to you
 

Mama

When the mouflons run on the snow
squawking under the winter sun,
this world looks as tender as you
who are cradling my life.
 
Mama,
they say that the wind
carries the wails
of those who have gone,
so someone says.
Tell me, mama.
 
Mama,
they say that the moon
can turn our luck.
So, can I go up there
to turn it?
Tell me, mama.
 
Tell me, mama.
 
When the mouflons run on the snow
squawking under the winter sun,
this world looks as tender as you
who are cradling my life.
 
Mama,
they say that the light…
Why a hope of light
doesn’t descend here
to this side?
Tell me, mama.
 
Mama,
the enmity,
brother against brother,
will ever end?
Why are we like this?
Tell me, mama.
 
Tell me, mama.
 
When the mouflons run on the snow
squawking under the winter sun,
this world looks as tender as you
who are cradling my life.
 

Forgiveness

Forgive me, my God:
I confess, I have sinned.
Contrite and humiliated
I beg for mercy.
 
Eternal goodness,
sovereign clemency,
in Your presence
I abhor my guilt.
 
Humbly I rush to your feet,
a miserable sinner,
with sincere sorrow
and crying.
 
By speaking I blamed myself,
greatly I've offended You,
it’s a great burden for me,
my God.
 

The Dawn of April

All the valleys are illuminated by the dawn
And in every slope a bird is replying
To another with modulated notes
 
And in the dew, teardrops seem
To have fallen from the sky
Just to move the hard-hearted people
Who in vain contemplate any beauty
 
The last stars are vanishing
In the firmament as the sun
Is going to appear over the creeks
 
The bright water uses to whisper
And the most gentle breezes
Make the fresh leafy branches float
 
And in the dew, teardrops seem
To have fallen from the sky
Just to move the hard-hearted people
Who in vain contemplate any beauty
 
The last stars are vanishing
In the firmament as the sun
Is going to appear over the creeks
 
The bright water uses to whisper
And the most gentle breezes
Make the fresh branches float…
 

When You Are

Beauty and grace
clear light, beloved jewel
come here to me
dance, dance unrestrainedly
 
When you’re in my arms
when you’re in my arms
there are arcane enjoyments
with the waves of the rivers
and the music of the winds
with the waves of the rivers
there are arcane enjoyments
when you’re in my arms
when you’re in my arms
 
There are snowy dawns
there are snowy dawns
and sunny woods
and roses every day
when I hold you in my hands
and roses every day
and sunny woods
there are snowy dawns
there are snowy dawns
 
Beauty and grace
clear light, beloved jewel
come here to me
dance, dance unrestrainedly
 
They are beautiful gifts
they are beautiful gifts
those that you give me
with love and fortitude
to fly with good wings
with love and fortitude
those that you give me
are beautiful gifts
are beautiful gifts
 
I want nothing but you
I want nothing but you
in dances and at home
come here, olive eyes
come and dance, come now
come here, olive eyes
in dances and at home
I want nothing but you
I want nothing but you
 
Beauty and grace
clear light, beloved jewel
come here to me
dance, dance unrestrainedly
 
Beauty and grace
clear light, beloved jewel
come here to me
dance, dance unrestrainedly
 
Dance, dance unrestrainedly
 

Don't call me Mary

Since the son of my soul
has died harshly,
don’t call me Mary
but Mother of pains,
don’t call me Mary
but Mother of pains.
 
Call me the distressed one,
call me the sorrowful one,
the one loaded with griefs
and worn-out by pains,
 
for I’m losing the best life
because of the traitors.
Don’t call me Mary
but Mother of pains,
don’t call me Mary
but Mother of pains.
 
Don’t call me Mary
nor full of grace
but of pain and sorrow,
of torment and agony,
for I see my life
handed over to traitors.
 
Don’t call me Mary
but Mother of pains,
don’t call me Mary
but Mother of pains,
don’t call me Mary
but Mother of pains.
 

Plava Savana

Plava pesma Savane
O, plava pesma Savane
Negde preko pustinje
U nekim ranim satima
U nemirnom svetu
Na otvorenom putu
 
Pripadam tamo gde mi je srce
Slatka predaja
Samo tebi
 
Šaljem ti svoju ljubav
 
Plava pesma Savane
O, plava pesma Savane
Jurim preko pustinje
Sto milja na čas
Na narandžastu stranu
Kroz oblake i gromove
 
Pripadam tamo gde mi je srce
Slatka predaja
Samo tebi
 
Šaljem ti svoju ljubav
 
Vraćam se tebi
I tvoja ljubav će me odvesti gde pripadam
Putujem brzo
I tvoja ljubav ce me odvesti gde pripadam
Da li ću otkriti
Da će me tvoja ljubav odvesti gde pripadam?
Da li ću otkriti
Da će me tvoja ljubav odvesti gde pripadam?
 
Negde preko pustinje
U nekim ranim satima
Na narandžastu stranu
Kroz oblake i gromove
 
Pripadam tamo gde mi je srce
Slatka predaja
Samo tebi
 

When Love Blossoms

I, with my voice,
with a serene heart and soul,
I’m singing with the joy
of someone who had a pleasant grace in his life,
because after so many years that I’ve been waiting for love,
I get to know the fruit and the flower.
 
My life, love is what shines in you…
My life, you’re each breath for me
and my heart sings like a bird
because I want to thank God a thousand times.
 
You’re the sun in the Orient,
which shines with love in the morning.
Of every hope you light up,
you turn the cold of winter into a spring.
I pray that this love be son of the good luck,
blessed in heaven by the Lord.
 
My life, love is what shines in you…
My life, you’re each breath for me
and my heart sings like a bird
because I want to thank God a thousand times [x2]
 

To the Mother of God

Tonight I want to sing,
I want to entrust a song to the wind,
To Mary, Holy Virgin,
Daughter of God and Mother of the Lord.
 
You who could suffer,
You who could love,
You who gave your life
To God, Father Omnipotent,
You, girl, to the angel
You opened your mind and your heart
And with love, you,
Full of holiness,
In the cave of Bethlehem
You’ve brought the light.
 
Pray for us, Holy Mother,
Today all in chorus we pray to you,
With the angels we sing glory to God
Because the King came down from the sky
For us, the sinners.
 
You who could suffer,
You who could love,
You who gave your life
To God, Father Omnipotent…
In the sky a bright star
Illuminated shepherds and kings
Who brought rich gifts of gold
For the Son of God, a child, heavenly treasure.
 
Pray for us, Holy Mother,
You, girl, to the angel
You opened your heart
And in the cave of Bethlehem
You’ve brought the light.
For us… for us… for us
 

I’m not Gallurese

As a child, I went
to Gallura to sing
and I can confirm
that I liked it right away.
 
With humility, to everybody
in this place I offered myself
as a woman and as a singer:
now I feel I'm yours too.
 
I’m not Gallurese
but in Gallurese I want to sing
to thank all the people
who come to listen to my voice.
 
I’m not Gallurese
but I’m in love with Gallura
for what all the people give me
in this place and for how they treat me.
 
In no time, I wouldn’t have believed,
the Gallurese have appreciated me:
for their kindness and pleasantness
these people have enchanted me.
 
I’m meeting everywhere
cheerful and hospitable people,
in each party, in each house
you all are singing my music.
 
I’m not Gallurese
but in Gallurese I want to sing
to thank all the people
who come to listen to my voice.
 
I’m not Gallurese
but I’m in love with Gallura
for what all the people give me
in this place and for how they treat me.
 
I’ve been coming here for so many years
and every time I’ve felt better and better,
I care a lot about this land
and I love it so much.
 
I do apologise
if I don’t sing well in Gallurese.
Just not to get the wrong accent and tone,
now you all sing with me:
 
I’m not Gallurese
but in Gallurese I want to sing
to thank all the people
who come to listen to my voice.
 
I’m not Gallurese
but I’m in love with Gallura
for what all the people give me
in this place and for how they treat me.
 
I’m not Gallurese
but in Gallurese I want to sing…
 

Bad Neighbour

The dog has bitten my neighbour,
he said that he’ll make me pay
because he thinks that I’ve incited it,
but how can he think so?
My dog did his duty.
 
It saw people coming into its house:
it’s my house, and so be it!
He said he was coming in to greet,
yeah, to say “good evening” at midnight.
But he was touching my lemons and oranges,
not certainly to say hello at such an hour!
 
Then it was he the malefactor,
that’s why all the fruit was missing:
he jumped over the low wall and got in.
You can think of your neighbour:
evil bird, the fox was you!
 
Hide your face in a corner,
ask, if you need something.
My dog doesn’t want anyone to touch
its master’s oranges and lemons.
Forgive it and shut your mouth,
that’s what is anywhere in the world.
 
Whoever touches what he shouldn’t touch
can only expect a hard way,
he can’t expect to have grace
when he takes possession of other people’s things.
Malefactor, with a low wall!
 
So the chicken-stealer fox has jumped:
hide your face in a corner,
ask, if you need anything,
be it lemon, orange or onion.
Forgive it and shut your mouth,
that’s what is anywhere in the world.
 
So it was he the malefactor,
that’s why all the fruit was missing:
he jumped over the low wall and got in.
You can think of your neighbour:
evil bird, you are the fox!
 
Hide your face in a corner,
ask, if you need something.
My dog doesn’t want anyone to touch
its master’s oranges and lemons.
Forgive it and shut your mouth,
that’s what is anywhere in the world.
 

The Dirge

I miss the sun, they have put it out
They’ve stopped your heart and your smile
I can no longer hear you leaving safe our home
Now you are endlessly sleeping, you, my brother
You were good and brave, my brother
You were handsome and prudent in the truth
Against the malicious hearts, the myrtle
And the scent of the highland have lost
Oh, the death has hit you this time
They’ve cut off the flower of our home
The tree of youth, the friendly and strong tree
In its shade I can no longer stay
The tree of youth, the friendly and strong tree
God broke it down
 

Blue Lavender (Heart Heart)

1Blue lavender, heart heart, blue lavender
If I am King, heart heart, you (are) Queen
Who said so, heart heart, who said so?
If I feel it, heart heart, it will be so
 
Everybody wakes up for working
The garden can't live without being cared
Who waters the flowers stops to admire them
He/She doesn't know that the rarest flower it's here with me
 
Blue lavender, I feel the smell of blue lavender
Maybe it's the smell of Love, maybe it's you
A happy lambkin plays here and there
Meanwhile the mild fire warms us
 
I want to dance, heart heart, I want to sing
You and I forever, heart heart, the eternity
Who said so, heart heart, who said so?
I told myself so, heart heart, yes, I tell you so
 

• 1. 'Core' means literally 'heart' in Neapolitan. This word is used in a sweet way (especially with children) and it hasn't a direct equivalent in English. It expresses a strong feeling of love between a parent and his/her child. Often it is reinforced being repeated 'core core'. I chose to translate it literally during the song.

Voices of the Heart

An expanse of salt water all around
like a caring, loving mother,
the safest land for me
to embrace life.
 
The children you raised
giving them every chance,
sometimes they didn’t respect you
and offered you an incinerated moon.1
 
Bonfires dedicated to Saints
with a lot of wine and mirth,
voices that look like lullabies,
nougat and chestnuts for everybody.
 
You’re as warm as fire in the fireplace,
you’re green in the summertime,
time passes pleasantly
with sheep, cows and good wine in the vine.
 
Songs danced in circles,
winds that stir the sea,
kids who want to speak
the most beautiful language in the world.
 
Songs danced in circles,
winds that stir the sea,
