Lyrics
I would I were a bird to fly high up above the hill-tops,
and so survey what lies below in distant foreign countries
that I might see my well-beloved, might see the man I’ll marry,
the kind of lodgings where he stays...
Translated by John Leatham
Original Lyrics
Να 'μαν πουλί να πέταγα
Να ’μαν πουλί να πέταγα ψηλά στα κορφοβούνια
ν’ αγνάντευα ολόγυρα στα μακρινά τα ξένα
να ’βλεπα την αγάπη μου, να ’βλεπα τον καλό μου,
σε τι σαντήρια κάθεται...
