Original Lyrics

Νανούρισμα

Κοιμήσου κι εγώ μήνυσα

Kοιμήσου κι εγώ μήνυσα στην Πόλην τα προικιά σου
και μες απέ τη Bενετιά να ρθούν τα νυφικά σου.

Kοιμήσου με την Παναγιά και με τον Άγιο Γιάννη
κοιμήσου και με το Xριστό κι όπου πονείς να γιάνει.

Notes

English translation is not available. The original text is in French:

Dans la tradition populaire grecque, musicale et poétique, les berceuses constituent un répertoire très riche et extrêmement varié d'une région à l'autre.

Les berceuses se transmettent d'ordinaire de grand-mère à petite-fille. En effet si, normalement, c'est la mère qui berce son enfant celle-ci se trouve souvent occupée aux champs ou à son travail de journalière. C'est alors la grand-mère ou In fille aînée qui In remplace.

Melodie : Mode hypodorien 
Rythme : Libre

Recording information

Domna Samiou taped in Kalamoti, Chios, in 1965.
