Πέρτικαν εμέρωνα

Listen

Lyrics

A partridge I did tame, through April ‘til May came,
the tamer she became, the more she did complain.

All afire deep inside, I hurled her far and wide,
at the mount all rocky, all rock-strewn and stony.

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Πέρτικαν εμέρωνα

Πέρτικα, πέρτικα, πέρτικαν εμέρωνα
πέρτικαν εμέρωνα, τον Απρίλη και τον Μά’.

Κι όσον την εμέρωνα, τόσο μου ’γκριαζεν1 κακά.

’Ποθυμώνομαι και γω και πετώ την στο βουνό
στο βουνό το πετρωτό και το πετροχαλατό.


1μου ’γκριαζε: μου γκρίνιαζε
