Καλλιτεχνικός Σύλλογος Δημοτικής Μουσικής Δόμνα Σαμίου

A noble lady summoned me, a blue-eyed noble lady
she summoned me to go to her, her wealth in Kalamata lies
she summoned me to dine with her, and kiss her black-blue eyes.

She brought out golden cutleries, she set a table for kings
and then she brings a golden quilt -a golden quilt she brings.
And I embraced the lady and she was like a log,
she was lifeless and so cold,
Oh God, quickly make the day break, quickly this night unfold.
A poor maiden asked me to go to her, she asked me to go join her,
she asked me to go dine with her and kiss her black-blue eyes.
She laid down a dirty rag -a dirty rag she laid down to lie on it
and then she brought a shabby quilt -a shabby quilt she brought.
And I embraced this poor girl and she was so much full of warmth,
she was a piece of living gold,
Oh God, please, don't let the daylight in, slowly this night unfold.
