Sto korafaissu 'ssiànonna linari
I was harvesting flax at your field
ce 'derlampise mesa sto chlorò
And I saw something shining in the green
sekundu motti skònnete o fengari
The same way the moon gets up
atto krovàtti tu òrrio, pereftò
From his nice, shiny bed
M'ide c'ekàise 'kau sta chortìa;
You saw me and hid in the green
faristi n'avro sena manechì,
You didn't want to be found alone
Tàrassa, ma so leo ma ti kardìa,
Leave, I'm telling you from the heart
ta poia pian ambrò ce a mmàddhia 'mpì.
The legs go forward and the eyes back
Agàpimu fidela protinì,
My first loyal love
puru ti nifta iss'nnu se torò;
You are in my dreams at night
Ivò fsunnòntas 'e se vrisko 'ci,
When I wake up I don't find you there
ce iu ta mala klàmata arcinò.
And then I start to sob
Tin àgapimmu vale sti fsichì,
Put my love in your soul
sekundu sti kardìammu tin vastò:
Just like I hold it in my heart
lus panta sto kosmo pai 'to zisi,
Because everything in life goes like this;
sekundu s' agapune n' agapisi.
Love them the way they love you
