about

An ancient wedding song from the island of Kalymnos.

lyrics

Dawn breaks. Now the birds greet the dawn.
Now the birds, now the swallows, now the partridges.
Now they sing, they sing and say, “Wake, my master.”

Μέρα μέρωσε.
Μέρα μέρωσε, τώρα η αυγή χαράζει
τώρα τα πουλιά.
Τώρα τα πουλιά, τώρα τα χελιδόνια
τώρα οι πέρδικες.
Τώρα οι πέρδικες, τώρα οι περδικοπούλες
τώρα κελαηδούν.
Τώρα κελαηδούν, τώρα λαλούν και λένε
ξύπνα αφέντη μου.
Ξύπνα αφέντη μου, ξύπνα καλέ μου αφέντη
ξύπνα αγκάλιασε.
Ξύπνα αγκάλιασε κορμί κυπαρισσένιο
κι άσπρον ε λαιμό.
