Βοσκαρουδάκι αμούστακο [Voskaroudaki amoustako] [English translation]

Teen shepherd wandering over mountains

the painstaking thought of your love, dear, on my mind

(I' wish that)* I would find you out in the wilderness on a rainy day

in an inconvenient place, without a shelter

Pouring rain would be on the way, hail would be falling

and barefooted you'd come into my arms

I'd open open up my coat to get you in a tight embrace

I'd listen to your breath and hold your waist

I'd uncover the top off your curly hair

I'd hold and listen to your heartbeat

I'd say "Mother Mary, may the sky never be clear

and may it be pouring till dawn and till the evening comes again

who'd find such treasure and let willingly go

Come on, may the sun never rise again, may the moon never shine

never to reveal the secret of my love...
