Paroles et traduction Fabrizio De André - Monti Di Mola

Monti Di Mola

In li Monti di Mola
La manzana
Un′aina musteddina era pascendi

In li Monti di Mola
La manzana
Un cioano vantarricciu e moru
Era sfraschendi

E l'occhi s′intuppesini cilchendi ea ea ea ea
E l'ea sguttesida li muccichili cù li bae ae ae

E l'occhi la burricca aia
Di lu mare

E a iddu da le tive escia
Lu Maestrale

E idda si tunchià abbeddulata ea ea ea ea
Iddu le rispundia linghitontu ae ae ae ae

Oh bedda mea
L′aina luna
La bedda mea
Capitali di lana
Oh bedda mea
Bianca foltuna

Oh beddu meu
L′occhi mi bruxi
Lu beddu meu
Carrasciali di baxi
Oh beddu meu
Lu core mi cuxi

Amori mannu
Di prima 'olta
L′aba si suggi tuttu lu meli di chista multa

Amori steddu
Di tutte l'ore
Di petralana lu battadolu
Di chistu core

Ma nudda si po′ fa nudda
In Gaddura
Che no lu ènini a sapi
Int'un′ora

E 'nfattu una 'ecchia infrasconata fea ea ea ea
Piagnendi e figgiulendi si dicia cù li bae ae ae

Beata idda
Uai che bedd′omu
Beata idda
Cioanu e moru
Beata idda
Sola mi moru

Beata idda
Ià ma l′ammentu
Beata idda
Più d'una ′olta
Beata idda
'Ezzaia tolta

Amori mannu
Di prima ′olta
L'aba si suggi tuttu lu meli di chista multa

Amori steddu
Di tutte l′ore di petralana lu battadolu
Di chistu core

E lu paese intreu s'agghindesi
Pa' lu coiu
Lu parracu mattessi intresi
In lu soiu

Ma a cuiuassi no riscisini
L′aina e l′omu
Chè da li documenti escisini
Fratili in primu

E idda si tunchià abbeddulata ea ea ea ea
Iddu le rispundia linghitontu ae ae ae ae

Monti Di Mola

In the Monti di Mola,
My darling,
A lovely chestnut mare was grazing.

In the Monti di Mola,
My darling,
A proud and dark black stallion
Was neighing.

And their eyes met across the fields ea ea ea ea
And their tails flicked like the willows cù li bae ae ae

And the mare's eyes they were wild
With the sea

And from the waves to her
Came the Mistral wind

And she danced and swayed so gracefully ea ea ea ea
He answered her with a whinny ae ae ae ae

Oh, my beauty,
The chestnut mare,
My beauty,
Wool merchant's pride.
Oh, my beauty,
White fortune.

Oh handsome one,
Your eyes burn me,
My handsome one,
Carnival of kisses,
Oh handsome one,
My heart beats fast for you.

Great love,
For the first time,
The bees sip all the honey of this myrtle

Starlight love,
For all hours,
The bell tower of petralana
Of this heart.

But nothing can be done
In Gallura,
They won't let us marry
Within an hour.

And in fact an old woman in rags fea ea ea ea
Wept and wailed and said cù li bae ae ae

Blessed is she,
What a handsome man,
Blessed is she,
Black stallion.
Blessed is she,
I die alone.

Blessed is she,
Oh, but remember
Blessed is she,
More than once.
Blessed is she,
I've been taken away.

Great love,
For the first time,
The bees sip all the honey of this myrtle

Starlight love,
For all hours, the bell tower of petralana
Of this heart.

And the whole town dressed up
For the wedding,
Even the priest himself entered
His church.

But they couldn't marry
The mare and the man,
Because the documents showed
They were first cousins.

And she danced and swayed so gracefully ea ea ea ea
He answered her with a whinny ae ae ae ae
