Lyrics

Up Siátista way, just up from Kastoriá,
will you not weep mothers, mothers and children ?

They killed Pavlos, Pavlos Melás
will you not weep, trees and branches?

They shot him thrice, three times in his side
will you not weep, cities and villages?

Three days laid out, dear Pavlos,
like a fish on the shore,
will you not weep, poor mourning Greece?

He left behind a widow, our Pavlos did,
two orphans too,
will you not weep, mothers and children?

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Στης Σιάτιστας τα μέρη

Του Παύλου Μελά

Στης Σιάτιστας τα μέρη,
τα μέρη σιμά στην Καστουριά,
δεν κλαίτε μάνις, μάνις κι πιδιά.

Σκοτώσανε τον Παύλο,
τον Παύλο το Μελά,
δεν κλαίτε δέντρα και κλαδιά.

Τρεις τουφεκιές τον ρίξαν,
μες στη δεξιά μεριά,
δεν κλαίτε χώρες και χωριά.

Τρεις μέρες ξαπλωμένος, ο Παυλάκης,
σαν ψάρι στο γιαλό,
δεν κλαις καημένο Ελληνικό.

Γυναίκα χήρα αφήκε, ο Παυλάκης,
και δυο ορφανά παιδιά,
δεν κλαίτε μάνις και πιδιά.
