Let My Eyes Go See

Ας πα να δουν τα μάτια μου

Lyrics

Let my eyes go see for themselves
how my love spends her days,
lest she’s found another and fallen in love
and left me.
Who said that, my dark-haired one,
who said I didn't love you?
If it was the sun, may he never shine,
if it was the star, may it never rise again.

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Ας πα να δουν τα μάτια μου

Ας πα να ιδούν τα μάτια μου
πώς τα περνά η αγάπη μου
μην’ ηύρ’ αλλού κι αγάπησε
και μένα μ’ απαράτησε.
Ποιος το 'πε, βρε μελαχρινό
ποιος το 'πε πως δε σ’ αγαπώ.
Κι αν το 'π’ ο ήλιος να μη βγει
τ’ άστρι να μην ξημερωθεί.

Region: Peloponnese
