Song for a Young Girl (εἰς κόρην)

ἐγὼ δ᾿ ἔσοπτρον εἴην, ὅπως ἀεὶ βλέπῃς μοι·

if only I could be a mirror, so that you would always look at me;

ἐγὼ χιτὼν γενοίμην, ὅπως ἀεὶ φορῇς με·

if only I could be a robe, so that you would always wear me;

ὕδωρ θέλω γενέσθαι, ὅπως σε χρῶτα λούσω·

if only I could be water, so that I would wash your skin;

ὅπως, ὅπως, ὅπως σε χρῶτα λούσω· [x2]

so that, so that, so that i would wash your skin; [x2]

μύρον, γύναι, γενοίμην, ὅπως ἐγώ σ᾿ ἀλείψω·

if only I could be a perfume, o lady, so that I would anoint you;

καὶ ταινίη δὲ μαστόν καὶ μάργαρον τραχήλῳ·

if only I could be a band for your breast, a pearl for your neck;

καὶ σάνδαλον γενοίμην, μόνον ποσὶν πάτει με·

if only I could be a sandal, only to trample me underfoot;

μόνον, μόνον, μόνον ποσὶν πάτει. [x2]

only, only, only to trample me underfoot. [x2]
