TRADUZIONE:
 
GRAZIA

 

Getto sale                                                        
perché siate saggi
e il mare
non ve lo chieda mai
di lacrime
Getto grano
perché viviate in abbondanza
e il cielo             
nella passione
vi confonda sempre
con i papaveri
Getto fiori
perché vi nascano i più belli
per pizzicotti e carezze
con guancette di velluto
e a fossette
Per loro getto
caramelle e monete
E il piatto
alla fine
per un coccio portafortuna
ad ogni presente
 
 
Dopo la liturgia nuziale, all’uscita dalla chiesa, in Sardegna si consuma il rito de s’erazia: la mamma della sposa o dello sposo benedice i coniugi e lancia verso di loro grano, sale, fiori, caramelle e monetine,  contenuti dentro un piatto che alla fine va frantumato a terra.
