Το μουνί το λένε Γιώτα
The song has explicit lyrics, and you can watch the video on YouTube if you're over 18.
Here, my friend, they call the fanny, here they call the fanny Yióta,
here hey call the fanny Yióta and the pecker Panayióta,
and the pecker Panayióta. Tug the one you want and ask,
tug the one you want and ask; it’s the prickhead goes in first,
it’s the prickhead goes in first, and the bollocks close the door.
Translated by John Leatham
Το μουνί, καλέ, το μουνί,
το μουνί το λένε Γιώτα
το μουνί το λένε Γιώτα
και τον πούτσο Παναγιώτα
Και τον πούτσο Παναγιώτα
κι όποιον θέλεις σύρε ρώτα
κι όποιον θέλεις σύρε ρώτα
το κεφάλι μπαίνει πρώτα
το κεφάλι μπαίνει πρώτα
και τ’ αρχίδια κλειν’ την πόρτα.
In a great number of bawdy songs, the genitals are a law unto them-selves and in in personified form they act independently of the bodies they belong. Their every activity, as the songs relate, merrily focusses on the eternal battle of the sexes and promotes pleasure and happiness as the supremacy obligation of human beings. Nevertheless, within the humorous situations depicted in these songs one finds echoes of the prevailing conceptions regarding gender differences and male supremacy, prejudices concerning female erotic proclivities; in sum, all the content with which the male-dominated modern Greek society endows human sexuality.
