Θάλασσα απ' όλα τα νερά
You quench your thirst from every source, o sea, from every river,
and spare us not a single one of our most manly menfolk.
Áya-móla, áya-léssa!
Ah, sea, you are an old deceiver.
Translated by John Leatham
Θάλασσα απ’ όλα τα νερά και τα ποτάμια πίνεις
κι από τα παλικάρια μας κανένα δεν αφήνεις
Έγια - μόλα, έγια - λέσα
αχ, βρε θάλασσα μπαμπέσα.
