Lyrics
Winter and… winter and autumn…
winter and autumn eat and drink at the same table.
They called for spring to join them, but she said ‘no’.
‘Don’t be proud, flower-decked spring;
The reaper will have them all, he’ll scorch the lot.’
Translated by Michael Eleftheriou
Original Lyrics
Χειμώνας κι ο χινόπωρος
Ωρέ, χειμώνας κι ο- χειμώνας κι ο χινόπωρος
χειμώνας κι ο χινόπωρος, μαζί τρώνε και πίν’ε.
Καλέσαν και την άνοιξη κι αυτή δε μπιγιρντάει.1
Μην καμαρώνεις, άνοιξη, με τα πολλά λελούδια
θε να τα πάρει ο Θεριστής, θα τα μαράνει όλα.
1δε μπιγιρντάει: δεν καταδέχεται
