Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Alla Mari

Alla Mari

Alla Mari

Alla mare mi portati se voleti i mici sonati
Alla mare alla mia cosa mi ama la donna mia
Alla mare alla mare mintre compo cogio a mare

To the sea to the sea let me follow
To save me from burning and heal my sorrow
Taking the way of sand and water
The tide is the last way to love my Mother
Alla mare alla mare mintre compo cogio a mare

Down the dunes with sister and stranger
The wicked women who dance in their danger
Craving the blessing all together
Of grass and sea with shell and feather
Alla mare alla mare mintre compo cogio a mare

So in love does my Lady enjoy me
That death by drowning shall not destroy me
Life on the tide will run before me
The long wave, the grey wave shall be my story
