Original Lyrics

Βλάχα πλένει στο ποτάμι

Bλάχα πλένει στο ποτάμι κι άλλη βλάχα τη ρωτάει.
Bλάχα μ’ τι 'σαι σκουμπωμένη και βαριά βαλαντωμένη,
Tι 'ν’ τα νύχια σου βαμμένα, τα μαλλιά σου μπερδεμένα.

Notes

English text

After a superb introduction on the clarinet, the song is constructed around a series of questions without answers; we will never know the real reasons for the sadness of this peasant woman ‘washing by the river’.

Translated by Derek Yeld

French text

Après une superbe introduction à la clarinette, le chant se construit autour d'un jeu de ques tions sans réponses; on ne saura jamais les véritables raisons de la tristesse de cette femme qui "lave près de la rivière".

Recording information
