Muriola, muriola,
Lassa tottu e bai sola,
Bai sola a sa funtana
Portamindi sa suttana
Sa suttana po addai
Muriola pesadi a bolai.
Ladybird, ladybird,
Leave everything and go alone,
Go alone to the fountain*.
Bring me the skirt**,
The skirt to dance.
Ladybird, fly away.

*Or "the spring".
**"Suttana" can be a Sardinian woman's traditional skirt or a priest's cassock (an ankle-length garment).
