Θάλασσα απ' όλα τα νερά

Listen

You quench your thirst from every source, o sea, from every river,
and spare us not a single one of our most manly menfolk.

Áya-móla, áya-léssa!
Ah, sea, you are an old deceiver.

Translated by John Leatham

Θάλασσα απ' όλα τα νερά

Θάλασσα απ’ όλα τα νερά και τα ποτάμια πίνεις
κι από τα παλικάρια μας κανένα δεν αφήνεις

Έγια - μόλα, έγια - λέσα
αχ, βρε θάλασσα μπαμπέσα.
