Lyrics
I went aboard a boat but newly built,
aboard a boat but newly built, and landed at Michalitsi.
I sought the seaman, strong and bold, who’d been out fishing for a catch.
– Good fishers, have you any fish, some lobsters and some squid maybe?
– Why, yes, we’ve got some fat sardines, just what a pretty lass likes best.
Translated by John Leatham
Original Lyrics
Σε καινούργια βάρκα μπήκα
Σε μωρ’ σε, σε καινούργια βάρκα μπήκα
σε καινούργια βάρκα μπήκα και στον Μιχαλίτσι εβγήκα.
Βρίσκω ναύτες παλικάρια, που ψαρεύανε για ψάρια.
– Έχετε ψαράδες ψάρια, για να φαν’ τα παλικάρια.
– Έχομε χρυσή σαρδέλα, σαν την έμορφη κοπέλα.
