Original lyrics
Sa nugoresa
Ite bella chi ses sa nugoresa
cando brillan sos ocros de beranu,
ses arzilla che mugra dae manzanu
su becu t’annotas chin lestresa.
A ti facher sa corte est un’impresa,
no’nde cheres nemancu a coro in manu
menzus ricu mancari non siat sanu,
tzeracu fachèndeti s’ispesa.
Non suportas ne amica ne bichina,
ses testarda, imbidiosa e favularja
malos contos t’imbentas a sa sola.
Matriarca, tiranna e reghina,
tue ses fiza de mama maghiarja
e su mascru ti piachet in cassola.

The woman from Nuoro
How beautiful you are, woman from Nuoro
When your eyes shine in the Spring
You are as sprightly as a doe since early morning
You notice your buck very quickly
Courting you is a challenge
You don’t accept it even if wholehearted1
Better be he wealthy, although not healthy
A servant doing the shopping for you
You can’t stand either a friend or a neighbour
You are stubborn, envying and a liar
You make up nasty stories on your own
Matriarch, tyrant and queen
You are daughter of a sorceress
And you enjoy a man only if he is stewed
- 1. Literally “not even with heart in hand”.
