Μαύρη Πεταλούδα [Mavri petalouda] [English translation]

Pure white and white, pure white waters

won't wash you out this time

Your angel is looking for you (holding) a candle

Get out in order to find you a black butterfly

The knives are sleeping on the mountains 1

and the black butterfly wakes them up.

The grim reaper gives his kiss elsewhere

and the black butterfly is calling him

Which desire did you see being kept secret

and you are flying way too close to the light.

They burn incense and the skies are crying

and the night won't find you alive

Pure white and white, pure white waters

won't wash you out this time

your angel lights three fires

get out, black butterfly, get out

1. he means the rebels who find shelter on the mountains and are armed
