| Notes | This poem describes the decline of the 'Sardinian Voice', most likely in reference to the native Sardu language of Sardinia. The speaker of the poem is a Sardinian person bemoaning the decline of the language - the ties between generations are being weakened, and the lessons for the next generation cannot be easily expressed any longer. The decline of Sardu has been noted by UNESCO, which has described it as 'definitely endangered.' |
