I Took the Road

Ζούρα δρομν – Πήρα το δρόμο

Lyrics

I took the road
I walked for hours
I reflected on you, sat and wept
I passed by Mary’s,
Cried out, my head ached
Since I entered love’s garden
My heart turned black
It will not turn back to white
Come whisper to me
On my lips
That we never part, my partridge

Original Lyrics

Ζούρα δρομν

Ζούρα δρομν - ε νε μόι νε νε νε
ζούρα δρομν ε βάιτα βάιτα
τε κουιτόβα ντίνια ε κλιάιτα.
Σκόβα γκα- ε νε μόι νε νε νε
σκόβα γκα Μαρίετε,
θίρα μέ ζου κρίετε.
Τσε κουρ χί- ε νε μόι νε νε νε
τσε κουρ χίτα ν’ άτα γκάρδετ
καμ νιε χιε νε ζεμπρ τσε σ’ μπάρδετ.
Έα φό- ε νε μόι νε νε νε
έα φολιεμε σιπρ νε μπουζέ
τε μος ντάχεμι θελέζε.

Απόδοση στα ελληνικά:

Πήρα το δρόμο
περπάταγα ώρες
σε θυμήθηκα, κάθισα κι έκλαψα.
Πέρασα από τη Μαρία
μ’ έπιασε το κεφάλι μου.
Από τότε που μπήκα
στον κήπο της αγάπης
μαύρισε η καρδιά μου, δε λέει ν’ ασπρίσει.
Έλα μίλα μου
πάνω στα χείλια μου να μη χωρίσουμε ποτέ πέρδικά μου.
