Lyrics

All the captains’ women went
and bowed down before Ali Pasha, before the vezir,
but Leni, Bótsaris’ Leni, will not bow her head.
‘I will not bow down, Ali Pasha,
not before you vezir,
I am Leni, I am Bótsaris’ wife’.

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Όλες οι καπετάνισσες

Της Λένως Μπότσαρη

Όλες οι καπετάνισσες των καπεταναραίων
όλες πάησαν, προσκύνησαν στ’ Αλή πασά την πόρτα
κι αυτή ν-η Λέν’ του Μπότσαρη
δεν πα να προσκυνήσει.
Δεν προσκυνώ Αλή πασά και σε μωρέ βεζύρη,
εγώ είμ’ η Λέν’ του Μπότσαρη.
