Lazarus Saturday Carol

Πού ’σαι Λάζαρε

Listen

Lyrics

– Where are you, Lazarus?
We hear your voice no longer,
your mother and your sister search
both high and low to find you.
– Why, I was in the earth,
laid deep within the earth,
it was my foes, my foes
who drained me of my vigour.

Palms in plenty on Palm Sunday,
we eat fish and mackerel,
on the Sunday following
we shall feast on a fat lamb.

Translated by John Leatham

Original Lyrics

Πού ’σαι Λάζαρε

– Πού ’σαι Λάζαρε, πού είναι η φωνή σου
που σε γύρευε η μάνα κι η αδερφή σου.
– Ήμουνα στη γη, στη γη βαθιά χωμένος
κι από τους εχθρούς, εχθρούς βαλαντωμένος.

Βάγια, βάγια των βαγιών,
τρώνε ψάρια, τον κολιόν
και την άλλη Κυριακή,
ψήνουν το παχύ αρνί.
