about

Tzonca 'in Sardinian represents the Assiolo, a solitary bird of prey that keeps us company with its characteristic verse during the nights in Barbagia and throughout Sardinia.
He reaches the peak of his nocturnal activity before midnight and after a series of breaks, at the first light of dawn, he retires to his shelter which is always well sheltered and without particular movement.
Its verse is hypnotic, you can't see it but you can hear it, a sort of cadenced and perfectly timed lament that comes from somewhere in the Sardinian countryside, hidden among the trees, without being grasped.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Ben'enidu su sole
azudami in custa die
tando as'a bìere a mie
chi t'adoro notte e die

Custa cosa non mi dolet
bae in bon'ora su sole
bae e toradinde cras
ite risposta mi dasa
a n'de ghettare lentore
bae in bon'ora su sole
