Lyrics
– Come on beam, dear moon,
shine, moon dear, and light the way to my love.
Beam high and low, for it’s muddy and wet;
beam still lower, so I can go still quicker.
– So I can shine till morning comes.
Wheresoever love is, let it walk abroad.
Translated by Michael Eleftheriou
Original Lyrics
Φώτα το φεγγαράκι μου
Άντε, φώτα, καλέ, φώτα, φώτα το φεγγαράκι μου
φώτα το φεγγαράκι μου, να πάω στην αγάπη μου.
Φώτα ψηλά και χαμηλά
γιατ’ είναι λάσπες και νερά
φώτα και χαμηλότερα
να πάω γρηγορότερα.
ν-Εγώ φωτάω ως το πρωί
κι όπ’ έχει αγάπη ας περπατεί.
