Song Lyrics |

English Translation:
Mávro Helithóni
(Table song) Oh black swallow from Arab lands, oh white dove from my homeland, I want to write a letter; a small note to my mother and my beloved brothers and sisters and to my first love to tell them not to expect me back. I got engaged here in the foreign lands and it’s here that I’ll be married.
{Medlies with}
Mésa Ston Tsanákale
In Tsanakale,they’re killing me, oh mother, they’re burying me without you. Don’t cry mother, for I was killed for our country and freedom.
