Translation of the song Όσο βαρούν τα σίδερα artist Paradosiaká (Greek Traditional Songs)

Greek

Όσο βαρούν τα σίδερα

English translation

As much as the iron bars

Όσο βαρούν τα σίδερα, αμάν-αμάν,

Just as much as the iron bars are hurting, alas-alas,

βαρούν τα μαύρα ρούχα,

that much hurt the mourning clothes as well,

γιατί τα φόρεσα κι εγώ, κόσμε ψεύτη,

as I wore them too, treacherous world,

για μια αγάπη, που 'χα.

for a love I once had

Αμάν, είχα και υστερήθηκα το μωρό μου,

Alack, I once had but was bereft of my baby,

θυμούμαι και εστενάζω,

I’m recalling this and moan,

άνοιξε γης μέσα να μπω, κόσμε ψεύτη,

earth open up for me to get into, treacherous world,

κόσμο να μην κοιτάζω.

never to lay eyes on people again
