Lyrics

The ship is my house, the sea my courtyard
and the waves of the north wind, are my comfort.

A little stranger is dying at the ships prow,
he hasnt got a mother to weep for him, a father to grieve,
nor brother nor sister nor any friend or relative.

Original Lyrics

Καράβι ένι το σπίτι μου

Καράβι ένι1 το σπίτι μου, θάλασσα η αυλή μου
και του βοριά τα κύματα είναι παρηγοριά μου.

Ξενούτσικος ψυχομαχεί στου καραβιού την πλώρη,
δεν έχει μάνα να τον κλαίει, κύρη να τον λυπάται,
ούτ’ αδερφό, ούτ’ αδερφή, ούτε κανένα φίλο,
ούτε κανένα συγγενή.


1ένι: είναι
