Βιολέτα του Γιονάρη

Listen

Lyrics

January violet, January violet,
my winter violet in bloom.

Who will drift off
and sleep in your shade
trialalalalala, who will sleep?

Blooming violet with leaves of green,
abandoning me to suffering.

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Βιολέτα του Γιονάρη

Βιολέτα του Γιονάρη, βιολέτα του Γιονάρη
βιολέτα του Γιονάρη, βιολέτα μ’ ανοιχτή.

Στον ίσκιο σ’ από κάτω, στον ίσκιο σ’ από κάτω
στον ίσκιο σ’ από κάτω, ποιος θ’ αποκοιμηθεί
τριαλαλαλαλαλα, ποιος θ’ αποκοιμηθεί.

Βιολέτα μ’ ανθισμένη με φύλλα πράσινα
που φεύγεις και μ’ αφήνεις μέσα στα βάσανα.
