Lyrics
My love-bird far away from home, my love who's broken-hearted,
- o, absent love of mine,
those foreign lands greet you with joy, while I am pining for you.
What should I send you, absent love, to you so far from home now.
Translated by John Leatham
Original Lyrics
Ξενιτεμένο μου πουλί (Η ξενιτιά)
Ξενιτεμένο μου πουλί και παραπονεμένο
η ξενιτιά σε χαίρεται και γω σε περιμένω.
Τι να σου στείλω ξένε μου, τι να σου παραγγείλω.
