Lyrics
You have entangled me, you have,
like a bee,
I am fed up being your slave
and also your ransomer, my little one.
You have entangled me, you have,
mind and heart,
you will sell me as a slave
in Barbary, my little one.
Translated by Mania Seferiades
Original Lyrics
Μ’ έχεις μπερντεμένο
Μ’ έχεις μπερντεμένο, μ’ έχεις,
ωσάν τη μέλισσα,
σκλάβος κι αγοραστής σου, μικρό μου
εγώ εβαζιέστησα.
Μ’ έχεις μπερντεμένο, μ’ έχεις,
το νου και την καρδιά,
σκλάβο θα με πουλήσεις, μικρό μου
μέσα στη Μπαρμπαριά.
