Της ξενιτιάς [Φεγγάρι μάτια μου 'κανες] [Tis xenitiás] [English translation]

Moon you put a spell on me

and I'm walking in the foreign lands

the house is orphan

unbearable the dusk

and the mountains full of tears

Send, my heaven, a bird

to bring patience to the mother

Send, my heaven, a bird

a little swallow,

to go to build the nest

at the garden's cherry tree

next to the little balcony,

send, my heaven, a bird

to bring patience to the mother

To bring patience to the mother

bound at the scarf

dowery to my little sister

and to my little neighbour girl

sweet kiss on the cheeks

Send, my heaven, a bird

to bring patience to the mother
