Necrolatric dance of Easter

Listen

Lyrics

Today, dear George, is Easter Day, my dearest George, my dearest George,
Today’s a major holiday, my dearest George, my handsome boy.

Today young men dress in their best, and join the promenade.
But you, dear George, did not show up, to join the promenade.

Translated by John Leatham

Original Lyrics

Σήμερα Γιώργη μ’ Πασχαλιά

Σήμερα Γιώργη μ’ Πασχαλιά, Γιωργάκη μ’, Γιωργάκη μ’
σήμερα πανηγύρι, Γιωργάκη μ’ και λεβέντη μ’.

Σήμερ’ αλλάζουν τα παιδιά και βγαίνουν στο σεργιάνι.
Και συ Γιώργη μ’ δε φάνηκες να βγεις να σεργιανίσεις.
