When You Go off Abroad, My Love

Listen
Lyrics
When you go off abroad, my love, go off to foreign places,
just see you don't remain six months, and don't you linger years there.
Go, gallivant around the world and with the folks that's in it,
and if you find like me, why, jilt me for the other.
Translated by John Leatham
Original Lyrics
Σαν πας πουλί μ' στην ξενιτιά
Σαν πας πουλί μ' στην ξενιτιά, σαν πας πουλί μ' στα ξένα
κοίτα μην κάμεις 'ξάμηνα, να μην αργήσεις χρόνους.
Σύρε γκιζέρα1 τον ντουνιά και τον απάνω κόσμο
κι αν εύρεις άλλη σαν κι εμέ, 'μένα παράτησέ με!
1γκιζέρα: τριγύρισε
