Πέθαν’ ο Κρέας

Listen

Lyrics

He’s dead, o mother dear, he’s dead, he’s dead is Master Meat,
he’s dead is Master Meat, he’s dead, and Master Cheese is dying.

Now Master Leek lifts up his tail and Master Onion his beard,
and Mistress Chard, that saucy Chard, sits upon the rim,
all ready for the pot.

Translated by John Leatham

Original Lyrics

Πέθαν’ ο Κρέας

Πέθα- μάνα μ’, πέθα- πέθαν’ ο Κρέας, πέθανε,
πέθαν’ ο Κρέας, πέθανε, ψυχομαχάει κι ο Τύρος.

Σηκώνει ο Πράσος την ουρά κι ο Κρέμμυδας τα γένια,
κι η Βρούβα, η παλιόβρουβα, στέκεται στην καβάλα
να πέσει στην τσουκάλα.
