ARE MOU
RINDINEDDHA
Aremu rindineddha
plea talassa se guaddhi
ce a putt' e ste 'ce ftazzi
ma to kallo cerro.
vasta to petton apsro
mavre vasta tes ale
stavri kulor de mare
ce i kuta en'diu nifti
kaimmeno mbro sti talassa
evo se kanono
lio ngherni lio kalei
lio nghizzi to nero
aremo plea paissia
pleus topus ise diammena
pu in echi ghianomena
ti foddhean esu
an ifsera ti diaike
apu cirtea s'emena
ka possa guaita sena
su roto na mu pi
ma su tipo mu lei
ja possa sse roto
lio ngherni lio kalei
lio nghizzi to nero
