Allu Mari - Unto Ashes

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 way, the last way, to love my Mother

Down the dunes with sister and stranger

The wicked women who dance in their danger

Craving the blessings altogether

Of grasses and seaweed, shell and feather

Allu mari, mi portati

Se voleti che mi sanati

Allu mari, alla via

Cosi m’ama la donna mia

Allu mari, allu mari

Mentre campo t’aggio amari

So in love does my lady enjoy me

That death by drowning cannot destroy me

Life on the tide will run before me

The long way, the gray way will cry my story
