How Fortunate the Mountains

Lyrics

How fortunate the mountains, for they do not await Death;
they only wait for springtime, for the splendid summer,
when the flocks will climb into the hills.

Original Lyrics

Καλότυχα που ’ν’ τα βουνά

Καλότυχα που ’ν’ τα βουνά, Χάρο δεν περιμένουν·
μόν’ καρτερούν την άνοιξη, τ’ όμορφο καλοκαίρι,
να βγουν κοπάδια στα βουνά.


Φωτ. Χρ. Λαιμός (2022)
