Lazarus Saturday Carol

Βάγιες μου, Βαγίτσες μου

Listen

Lyrics

Come, Holy Virgin, come along and see these women bearing palms,
good women bearing palms, good souls, bend down a little way
[so I may cut a sprig or two, to give to Christ our Lord].
Come, Holy Virgin, come along and see these women bearing palms.

Translated by John Leatham

Βάγιες μου, Βαγίτσες μου

Έβγα κυρά μου Παναγιά, να δεις τις βάγιες που ’ρθαν
να δεις τις βάγιες που
Βάγιες μου, Βαγίτσες μου, λίγο χαμηλώσετε
[για να κόψω ’να κλαρί, να το δώσω στο Χριστό].
Έβγα κυρά μου Παναγιά, να δεις τις βάγιες που ’ρθαν
να δεις τις βάγιες που.
