PU E TO RODO T’ORIO

(lyrics.: traditional in griko / music: E. Licci)

pu e to rodo t’orio

to miristò t’asteri

ciné pu lustrons èkanne scimona kaloceri

pirte xasi to rodo-mmu t’asteri spittarò

c’evo ftexuddhi émina mavro ce skotinò

oti kan é skotìgnase tipoti en ei pleo xari

arte pu e mmàvri tixi-mu télise na me pari

Where is the beautiful rose
odorous the star
who used to bring light
winter and summerShe left, my rose got lost
the shining star
And I was left miserable
sad and lonely

everything went dark
Nothing nice anymore
now that my black fate
wanted to make me lose it
