lyrics

Kristina Jacobsen, transl. Franzisca Manca

Sardinian (Logudorese)

Santu Predu
Beneighe custa ‘idda
E custu mare
Beneighe cust’òmine
Chi cricat in issu su tribàgliu
Tene cura de custu piscadore
De sa famìglia e de su corazu suu
Santu Predu

Santa Bàrbara
Beneighe sa miniera perigolosa
E sa zente chi calat aintro ‘e issa
Da serenidade a sas famìglias
Chi ogna die isetan
Cun su coro in buca
Santa Bàrbara

Santa Rita
Beneighe custa fèmina
chi s’òmine traitore
at iscutu
daddi sa paghe chi est cricanne
Daddi una manu
Po chi non perdat s’isperàntzia
Santa Rita

Santa Maria de Bonària
Beneighe custa terra de Sardigna
E sos Sardos che torran a s’ìsula nadia
E sas prantas arestes chi dda muntan
E sa limba chi faeddan
Santa Maria de Bonària

Caritá e dolcezza
Da essere angelo di pace
Ovunque vedesse discordia
Vi chiedo scusa

Caritá e dolcezza
Da essere angelo di pace
Ovunque vedesse discordia
Vi chiedo scusa
San Pietro, Santa Barbara, Santa Rita and Santa Maria de Bonaria


English Translation:

Saint Peter
Bless this village and bless this beach
Bless this man as he goes out to sea
Protect and hold him in your mercy
San Pietro

Saint Barbara
Bless this mine and bless this work
Keep them safe as they enter the earth
Protect their bodies, their families and their courage
Santa Barbara

Saint Rita
Bless this woman as she breaks free
From her abuse and searches for peace
Protect her body, her heart and sense of possibility
Santa Rita

Saint Maria di Bonaria
Bless this island and bless this place
Bless this language as she finds her way back
Protegge il suo popolo e la sua grazia selvatica
Santa Maria di Bonaria

Charity and grace
To be an angel of peace
Wherever you see discord
Sow peace
San Pietro, Santa Barbara, Santa Rita and Santa Maria di Bonaria

about

Kristina Jacobsen Albuquerque, New Mexico

Kristina Jacobsen’s first album, Three Roses, proves that she is a certified country singer/songwriter who couldn’t be more authentic if she had been born backstage at the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, aprogram that she celebrates in a song of the same name. She sings in a yodeling alto that can warm your heart, bite off a searing denunciation, or celebrate good times with equal fervor. ... more
