Lyrics
A blue dove,
oh, a blue dove flew by.
Flying from mountain to mountain
she was searching for her mate.
My love so far away, tell me,
my love in a foreign land, how I can wait?
Translated by Michael Eleftheriou
Original Lyrics
Μια γαλάζια περιστέρα
Μια γαλά- σεβντίμ αμάν αμάν,
μια γαλάζια περιστέρα
αχ, μια γαλάζια περιστέρα
αχ, πέταξι και πάει ’σια πέρα.
Το ιβουνό βουνό πιτούσι
και το ταίρι της ζητούσι.
Ταίρι μου ξενιτεμένο
πες μου πώς να περιμένω.
