No potho reposare

A Diosa (better known as No potho reposare) is a song written in 1920 by the composer Giuseppe Rachel with the time of English Waltz, on the words of the homonymous poem in Logudorese language, written in 1915, by the lawyer Salvatore Sini. Since 1921 the song was part of the repertoire of the "Philharmonic Body" of Nuoro, directed by Rachel himself. In 1936 the tenor Maurizio Carta recorded in a 78 rpm, for the Pathé Records, three verses of  A Diosa . In 1957 in Turin, on the initiative of the musician and musicologist Gavino Gabriel, a version of the Coro di Nuoro was recorded. In 1978 Maria Carta recorded the piece in a 45rpm for the Polydor Records.
