The Star and the Little Moon

Lyrics
The star -come now my treasure- the star and the little moon,
the star, my precious, and the moon, I’ll follow a narrow trail soon.
I'm following it -come now my precious - I'm following the narrow trail,
I'm following the narrow trail and on my way a little girl.
On my way -come now my love- on my way a little girl
and this little girl, my precious, is sleeping on a bed.
And this little girl who sleeps -hear me well my treasure-
has no fear, my precious, she sweetly sleeps with pleasure.
And if she fears -my little treasure- the thieves and robbers of this world,
she'll be safe, the door is locked with an iron key of gold.
Translated by Olia Petidou
Original Lyrics
Τ' άστριν κι του φεγγαράκι
T’ άστριν κι, έλ' αϊμάν, αϊμάν τζάνουμ, τ' άστριν κι του φιγγαράκι
τ’ άστριν κι, τ' άστριν κι του φιγγαράκι,
παίρνου ’να, παίρνου ’να στινό σουκάκι
παίρνου ’να στινό σουκάκι
βρίσκου κι ένα κοριτσάκι
που κοιμάτι στου κριβάτι
κι κανένα δε φουβάτι,
μόν’ τους κλέφτις κι αν φουβάτι.
Έχω πόρτα σιδερένια,
κλειδαριά μαλαματένια.
