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,[1] on the words of the homonymous poem in Logudorese language, written in 1915, by the lawyer Salvatore Sini.[2] 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.
