Lyrics

I want to savour all the months, I want to know them all,
but oh , not March, I can’t abide the dreadful month of March.
The month of March I would forget, the month of sad good-byes.
It crews and rings sponge-fishing boats and sends them off to sea.
My man is one of those signed on and sails soon in the boat.
You are about to sail, good man, but me, where will you leave me?
Take me along with you, my man, aboard the boat you’re in.
I’ll cook your supper, make your bunk for you to eat and sleep,
I’ll wash your clothes out for you, man, in that silver bowl...

Translated by John Leatham

Original Lyrics

Όλους τους μήνες τους θέλω

Όλους, όλους τους μήνες τους θέλω, κι όλους τους καλοθέλω,
ωχ , το Μά- τράβα το χορό, ωχ , το Μάρτη μήνα δε θέλω

το Μάρτη μήνα δε θέλω γιατ’ είναι ταξιδιάρης.
Γιατί αρματώνει κάτεργα και ξεκινάει καράβια,
κινά κι εμέν’ αφέντης μου μαζί με το καράβι.
Εσύ φεύγεις, αφέντη μου, κι εμένα πού μ’ αφήνεις;
Πάρε κι εμέν’ αφέντη μου, μαζί με το καράβι,
να μαγειρεύω να δειπνάς, να στρώνω να κοιμάσαι
να πλένω τα ρουχάκια σου στην αργυρολεκάνη...
