O Soultanos Tis Vavilonas Ke I Gineka (Mediterranean Mix)

Στης Βαβυλώνας τη γη με ράσο αντί γι′ ακόντιο
Κινά ένας φίλος για ταξίδι υπερπόντιο
Για να κηρύξει την ανθρωπιά την καλοσύνη
Μα του περάσανε χαλκά οι Σαρακήνοι

Για το δικό του Θεό
Του κόσμου το άδικο
Σ' ένα Σουλτάνο μπροστά
Τον παν κατάδικο τον λύνει αυτός απ′ τα δεσμά του
Κι έτσι ο φίλος μας κινάει να πει κι αλλού το κήρυγμα του

Σ' ένα πηγάδι σταματάει να ξεδιψάσει
Μα μια γυναίκα δεν αργεί να πλησιάσει
Ωραία στην όψη μα η καρδιά της δηλητήριο
Με το κορμί της τον καλεί σ' άλλο μαρτύριο

Για το δικό σου Θεό
Μαζί σου θα καώ
Της άπλωσε τα χέρια
Και βγήκαν περιστέρια
Πιστεύει αυτή με τ′ άγγιγμά του
Κι έτσι ο φίλος μας κινάει να πει κι αλλού το κήρυγμα του

Frate Francesco parti una volta per oltre mare
Fino alle terre di Babilonia a predicare,
Coi suoi compagni sulla via dei Saracini
Furono presi e bastonati, i poverini!

Frate Francesco parlo
E bene predico
Che il Gran Sultano ascolto
E molto lo ammiro
Lo libero dalle catene
Cosi Francesco parti per Babilonia a predicare.

Για το φτωχούλη θα πω δυο λόγια απ′ την Ασίζη
Που πήγε πέρα στην Βαβυλώνας το μετερίζι
Για να κηρύξει την ανθρωπιά την καλοσύνη
Μα του περάσανε χαλκά οι Σαρακήνοι

The Sultan of Babylon and the Woman (Mediterranean Mix)

In the land of Babylon, with a cassock instead of a javelin
A friend sets out on an overseas journey
To preach humanity, kindness
But the Saracens put rings on him

For his God
The injustice of the world
In front of a Sultan
They took him as a convict, he frees him from his shackles
And so our friend sets out to preach his sermon elsewhere

He stops at a well to quench his thirst
But a woman is quick to approach
Beautiful to look at, but her heart is poison
With her body she calls him to another martyrdom

For your God
I will burn with you
He stretched out his hands to her
And doves came out
She believes with his touch
And so our friend sets out to preach his sermon elsewhere

Brother Francis once set out for overseas
As far as the lands of Babylon to preach,
With his companions on the way of the Saracens
They were taken and beaten, the poor things!

Brother Francis spoke
And preached well
That the Great Sultan listened
And admired him very much
He freed him from his chains
So Francis set out for Babylon to preach.

For the poor I will say a few words from Assisi
Who went far to Babylon, the stronghold
To preach humanity, kindness
But the Saracens put rings on him
