Teresa Mundula
Daughter of Notaries Carlo Nepomuceno Zuddas and from whose gifts of intellect and wit owes much of his training, Teresa was born in Cagliari Mundula fourth 5 sisters. Ransom of them occupy a prominent place among the poets and writers with the Sardinians of 900 collections of verse ("The Little Lamp" 1923, "The collection of glass", 1933) and several major critical essays; Francesca has left poems and writings unpublished. After following with passion undergraduate studies in chemistry and natural sciences, was for many years at the Institute help di fisica dell’Università di Cagliari. Nel 1922 si era intanto sposata col giovane Avvocato Luigi Crespellani, destinato ad assumere posizioni di primo piano – da Sindaco di Cagliari a primo Presidente della Regione, a Senatore della Repubblica – nella vita pubblica sarda dopo la caduta del fascismo. Dal matrimonio nacquero quattro figli. Lasciato il lavoro universitario per i crescenti impegni familiari, il suo spirito d’osservazione si rivolse agli aspetti più vivi e più immediati della realtà della sua città e dell’ambiente che la circondava, nonché alla riflessione sull’incontro con le persone più semplici e più autentiche con cui veniva a contatto. Mentre già nel periodo universitario had begun to write poems in Italian and at that date that the first expression in the Sardinian language. The maximum creativity in Cagliari dialect is between 1940 and 1950. From time to time and as an alternative to the Italian language continued to write poetry in dialect. Alone in 1967, after the death of mate, with whom he created a long and happy reunion of friendship in marriage, Teresa Mundula has collected and reorganized the copious literary production, which in 1973 presented a first Fossataro Editrice Sarda choice which was very successful and was followed in 1976 by a second volume with the same publisher. Teresa Mundula Crespellani died November 14, 1980 in Cagliari.
Tre Poesie
Candu mi pesu in chizzi
Candu mi pesu in chizzi e bandu in cresia,
e a is peis de Deus pongu is timorias
chi tengu po ma ‘a totu is fizzas mias
dogna strintura ‘a puru sindi stesia.
Mi pari da essi canna che pastori,
ti sezzu a sua ‘e una parda, sulittendi
si castiri is angionis sua pascendi
in mesu ‘e s’erba birdi e prena e soli.
No seu che barca perdia, sbentuliara,
in mesu 'and seas, filu' and erbiscedda
ch'intriri in portu spalancara sailing.
Translation
When I wake up early
When I wake up early and go to church
and lay it down in the lap of God
every fear I have for myself and for my daughters,
heart dissolves all pain.
I feel as calm as a shepherd
that greeting on a rock, whistling,
watch the sheep graze in the grass green
in full sun.
I am not shaken by the wind
boat in the sea like a string of seaweed:
are light and cheerful which
boat entering the port to sail wide open.

On pensamentu miu is that on that Bentu

Il mio pensiero
Il mio pensiero
is like the wind that flies and flies
without taking installation, fearing
I wonder where will
with the waves of tears and torment.
But the mistral rushing is very rare.
E 'for the most kind and gentle,
often longed for a breeze because
away thoughts of death,
stirred the soul and comforts me.
brings with it the scent of flowers,
roses, violets, of all colors with wings that
passing has touched.
E 'wind that makes clear the sea
and the tips of the mountains I see from the window of the room
brings me with joy and faith.
