Lyrics

Here come maidens from Psatha,
I knew not who they were, I am heart-broken
Come on maiden mine,
Stand here in the shade
Here come maidens wave by wave
All wearing red aprons
Come on maiden mine,
Stand here in the shade
On your apron’s flowers
Wish I had been born and died
Come maiden in the night-time
Be a blessing, have me
I’d have stayed high up on the mountain
But I missed you terribly
Come on maiden mine,
Stand here in the shade

Original Lyrics

Βίνιεν βάσιαζιτ γκα Ψάθα

Βίνιεν βάσιαζιτ γκα Ψάθα
νουκ ι νιόχα ε ντι σα πλιάσα
Άιντε βάιζο έα
πρίρου νε κίο χέα
Βίνιέν βάσιαζιτ μπουλούκιε
τερέ'με ποδέ τε κούκιε
Άιντε βάιζο έα
πρίρου νε κίο χέα
Ν’ άτα λιούλιετ ε ποδέσε
τε γιέσιε λιέιτουρ εδέ τε βντέσε
Έα βάιζο νάτεν
μίρμε σι ουράτεν
Πον ντο ρούσεσιε ου γκα μάλι
πο γκα τυ με μούαρ μάβι
Άιντε βάιζο έα
πρίρου νε κίο χέα
 

Απόδοση στα ελληνικά:

Έρχονται τα κορίτσια απ’ την Ψάθα
δεν τα γνώρισα, έσκασα
Έλα κορίτσι μου
στήσου εδώ στη σκιά
Έρχονται τα κορίτσια κύματα
όλα με κόκκινη ποδιά
Έλα κορίτσι μου
στάσου εδώ στη σκιά
Πάνω στα λουλούδια της ποδιάς σου
εκεί νά ’χα γεννηθεί, εκεί να πέθαινα
Έλα κορίτσι μου τη νύχτα,
σαν ευχή πάρε με
Δεν θα κατέβαινα απ’ το βουνό
αλλά σ’ επιθύμησα τόσο πολύ
Έλα κορίτσι μου,
στάσου εδώ στη σκιά
