Dear mama
lyrics: Iakovos Kampanellis
music: Manos Hatzidakis

Ach, what shame, this shame
my dear mama, and how will it be removed
as much as the river flows
my dear mama, it will not wash it away

What can two teardrops do to me,
and forty-two sighs, my dear mama
and what if my tear is fresh
the mouth dumb and bitter, my dear mama

And I run to find someone
to ask me, for me to ask him
what will happen, what will happen
who will hurt, who will hurt
my dear mama, my dear mama

(translation: Eva Johanos)

Και τρέχω κάποιον για να βρω
να με ρωτάει και τον ρωτώ
τι θα γενεί, τι θα γενεί
ποιος θα πονεί, ποιος θα πονεί
μανούλα μου, μανούλα μου
