Lyrics

– Hey fishermen, have you any fish,
any fish or squid or lobsters?
– We’ve got sardines all golden,
as golden as the maid is fair.
– Mistress, I heard you have a boat
and lay down nets,
and have come to seek its use:
for black eyes I would fish.

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Έχετε ψαράδες ψάρια

− Έχετε ψαράδες ψάρια, έχετε ψαράδες ψάρια,
έχετε ψαράδες ψάρια, αστακούς και καλαμάρια,
αστακούς και καλαμάρια.

− Έχομε χρυσή σαρδέλα
σαν την έμορφη κοπέλα.
− Έμαθα κυρά πως έχεις
ψαροπούλα και ψαρεύεις
κι ήρθα να σου τη γυρέψω
μαύρα μάτια να ψαρέψω.
