Oh miraculous Saint Sabina,1
give me a fine, graceful girlfriend
give me a fine, graceful girlfriend.
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
Dilliriana, beautiful swallow, beautiful swallow…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
From Bortigali2or from my village,
give me a graceful and fine girlfriend.
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
If she’s from Lei,2she’s charming,
from Bolotana2it's even better
Dilliri…
If you pray to Saint Sabina
in Oliena,2you’ll surely find some.
Beautiful, perfect, just as you want,
a beloved daughter of Mount Corrasi.3
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
Well-mannered, a fine beauty,
even better if she’s from Bolotana.2
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
Also in Dualchi,2a neighbouring village
till nightfall I look for a girl.
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
Even going groping the walls,
even going groping the walls
I look for a girl till nightfall.
Saint Luxorius4is generous,
he gives enchantment, joyous days.
We girls from Oliena still pray to him,
so we’re beautiful, we don’t even grow old.
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
If I go to Ottana2I fall in love,
anyone gives me her soul and heart.
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
Beautiful girls, all in a flow,
give me everything, soul and heart.
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
If by chance I pass through Illorai2
I never go back without a kiss.
Dilliri…
Pearls of the Barbaricine land,
everywhere they are like queens.
If you don’t believe it’s so,
stop by at the foot of Mount Corrasi.3
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
Whatever it is,
I never go back without a kiss.
Dilliri…
Dilliri dilliri dilliriana
If in Esporlatu2I sing a polyphonic song
they follow me lovingly.
Dilliri…
