Maria Carta (June 24, 1934 – September 22, 1994) was a Rome-based Sardinian folk music singer-songwriter. She also performed in film and theater and, in 1975, she wrote a book of poetry, Ritual Song.

She was born in Siligo, Sassari, Sardinia.

Throughout her 25-year career, she covered the richly diverse genres of traditional music of her native land (ninne nanne—children's lullabies, gosos, Gregorian chants, and more), often updating them with a modern and personal touch. She succeeded in bringing Sardinian folk music into wider popular awareness, in demonstrations at a national level in Italy (like the Canzonissima in 1974) as well as internationally (especially in France and the United States).

She caught the attention of such directors as Francis Ford Coppola and Franco Zeffirelli, who gave her the first two of her widely seen film roles, including that of the mother of Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II in 1974. Carta lived in Rome for many years and she served as Communal Councilwoman from 1976 to 1981 on the side of the Italian Communist Party.

Who To Be

I've always been caught in chains
I've always been told who to be
Who to be...
I've never had my own life
I've never had some little love
Love...
And now you got me begging please
And now you got me saying don't
Don't change me
Who to be
Choose from you and me
Who to be
It's so difficult
Who to be
Choose from you and me
Who to be
It's so difficult
[Rhythm]
You tried
You tried to show me the best you can do
Do...
Deny
I can't choose who to be
To be...
No regrets
It's not too late
Change it the way you want
No regrets
It's not too late
Change it the way you want
Who to be
Choose from you and me
Who to be
It's so difficult
Who to be
Choose from you and me
Who to be
It's so difficult
[Rhythm]
Pick a style
Pick a life
Pick anything you want
Pick a style
Pick a life
Woah-woah
Pick a style
Pick a life
Pick anything you want
Pick a style
Pick a life
Woah-woah
Tryin' any kind of life
Of life...
[Rhythm]
