2.“Tiria” (feat. Matthew Papperi)

Kristina Jacobsen & Matthew “il Baro” Papperi), copyright 2017

Place written: Settimo San Pietro, Sardinia

Campidanese:

s’arruga chi mi portat a sa faci tua
Po ascurtai unu fueddu de Tiria
In su silèntziu de mangianu Su sonu cumpanzosu
Boxi chi callentat su coru

“Nabodi miu ti fatzu bi’ una cosa
Sa pudda at fatu is fillus giojosa”
ses s’arreina de custu logu chentza ’e tempus
Tempus ha la s anche al singolare (eccezione)
Chent’annos parint unu momentu

Take me back to those fields
Take me back to that mesa
Back to that wildness inside me
In the stillness of the morning
You open the door
To a place that was lost in me

Pensendi a tui no nc’est mai tristura
pensamentu est bellu in sa memòria
Su pani fatu in domu, su fragu de s’obia
Sa vida bella currit in Tiria

Take me back to those fields
Take me back to that mesa/sagebrush
Back to that wildness inside me
In the stillness of the morning
You open the door
To a place that was lost in me

A story as old as the west
Tiria to Albuquerque

Mancai asfaltant s’arruga chi arribat a crèsia
Nudda parit essi cambiau

Mancai asfaltint, tempo verbale sbagliato
chi arribat a crèsia, senza articolo

Po mei nudda est su pròpiu de candu apu connotu
Ca no fiast in su sartu a mi abetai

Take me back to those fields
Take me back to that mesa/sagebrush
Back to the wildness inside me
In the stillness of the morning
You open the door
To a place that was lost in me

In the stillness of the morning
You open the door
To a place that was lost in me


English Translation:

There’s a street that takes me to your face
It tells a story of a place called Tiria
And in the silence of the morning
I can still feel the warm sound of your voice

“Grandson,” she would say, “come with me, let’s look at this hen with her brand new chicks”
You are indeed the queen of this timeless place
Where a hundred years with you would never be enough

Take me back to those fields
Take me back to that mesa
Back to that wildness inside me
In the stillness of the morning
You open the door
To a place that was lost in me

I think about you with joy
And a full heart
Homemade bread, the smell of olives
The beautiful life you made in Tiria

Take me back to those fields
Take me back to that mesa/sagebrush
Back to that wildness inside me
In the stillness of the morning
You open the door
To a place that was lost in me

A story as old as the west
Tiria to Albuquerque

They've paved the road now that runs to the church
Nothing else much looks like it’s changed
But everything is different since I learned that you would no longer be there
waiting for me at the end of that road with open arms

Take me back to those fields
Take me back to that mesa
Back to that wildness inside me
In the stillness of the morning
You open the door
To a place that was lost in me

In the stillness of the morning
You open the door
To a place that was lost in me

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
