Psilo Kloni Vasiliko

Ψηλό κλωνί βασιλικό
βασίλεψεν η Πούλια
ψηλό κλωνί βασιλικό
βασίλεψεν η Πούλια
πήγαν τον άντρα π' αγαπώ
ψηλό κλωνί βασιλικό
Πήραν τον κι έμεινα ορφανή
τρυγόνα λαβωμένη
πήραν τον κι έμεινα ορφανή
τρυγόνα λαβωμένη
θέλω να σύρω μια φωνή
πήραν τον κι έμεινα ορφανή
Θέλω να πω, τίνος να πω
να βαριαναστενάξω
θέλω να πω, τίνος να πω
να βαριαναστενάξω
ποιο μου 'κλεψε τον π' αγαπώ
θέλω να πω, τίνος να πω
Πήραν τον και τον πήγανε
ήλιος να μην τον βλέπει
πήραν τον και τον πήγανε
ήλιος να μην τον βλέπει
πού 'ν' τα παιδιά που σμίγανε
πήραν τον και τον πήγανε
Πάνε πουλιά σκορπίσανε
γεράκια κι έχουν φύγει
πάνε πουλιά σκορπίσανε
γεράκια κι έχουν φύγει
φύγαν και δε γυρίσανε
πάνε πουλιά σκορπίσανε
Τα λόγια τους ανείπωτα
κι οι πόρτες στο λιμάνι
τα λόγια τους ανείπωτα
κι οι πόρτες στο λιμάνι
κλείσαν βαριά κι ασήκωτα
τα λόγια τους ανείπωτα

Basil's Tall Shoot

Basil's tall shoot
The moon has set on Pilia
Basil's tall shoot
The moon has set on Pilia
They took the man I love
Basil's tall shoot
They took him and left me an orphan
A wounded dove
They took him and left me an orphan
A wounded dove
I'd like to let out a cry
They took him and left me an orphan
I'd like to say, to whom should I say
To confide my heavy sighing
I'd like to say, to whom should I say
To confide my heavy sighing
Who stole from me the one I love
I'd like to say, to whom should I say
They took him and sent him away
May the sun never shine on him
They took him and sent him away
May the sun never shine on him
Where are the children who used to gather
They took him and sent him away
They've gone and scattered like birds
Like hawks that have flown away
They've gone and scattered like birds
Like hawks that have flown away
They left and never returned
They've gone and scattered like birds
Their words unspoken
And the doors in the harbor
Their words unspoken
And the doors in the harbor
Closed heavy and unyielding
Their words unspoken
