sa mama 'e su sole

Prolagus commented on the word sa mama 'e su sole

"The Sun's mother" is in the sky during Sardinian hot summer afternoons, burning the kids that dare play in the streets.

Pitzinna istes in domo

fintzas a sas battoro,

in fora b'este sa mama 'e su sole.

A chent’ottanta grados,

ruju che una cariasa,

ti poden salvare solu sos chercos.

(My little girl, stay at home

until four

the mother of the sun is out.

One hundred eighty degrees,

and as red as a cherry,

Only the oaks can save you.)

(Sa mama 'e su sole, by Tazenda)

The Sun's mother would be really appreciated on these latitudes, but the sky has been quite grey. This poem will do the trick. :o)
