Words in English
Over in the far fields
where the olive trees are,
There is a monastery,
where the girls go
I go, too, poor fellow,
to say my prayers,
To cross myself,
like every Christian.
I see another Madonna,
I see a girl.
She crosses herself
and the church lights up.
I ask again, I ask her,
ìWhere are you from, my girl?î
ìI am from near here,
from the neighborhood.î
Words in Native Tongue
Pera stous pera kambous
Pou ine ee elyes.
Een ena monastiri,
Pou pan ee kopelyes.
Pao kíegho, kiymenos,
Ya na prosefitho.
Na kano to stavro mou,
San kathe Crhistiano.
Vlepo mya panayaílee,
Vlepo mya kopelya.
Na kanni to stavro tis,
Kay lamb-ee eklisya.
Roto xana roto tee,
ìPo ou ësay, kopelya?
Apo etho kondaímay,
Kyíapo to mahalla.
