Lyrics

O, bitter orange in full leaf, o leafy bitter orange,
Where is your blossom, bitter orange, where are your blooms?

Where is the beauty you once wore, where are your comely looks?
The north wind blew a gale and scattered all before it.
I beg of you, o good north wind, blow gently this once,
and then the boats from Spetsai Island can be prepared for sea.

Translated by John Leatham

Original Lyrics

Νεραντζούλα φουντωμένη

Νεραντζούλα φουντωμένη, νεραντζούλα φουντωμένη,
πού ’ναι τ’ άνθη σου, νεραντζούλα, πού ’ναι τ’ άνθη σου

πού ’ν’ η πρώτη σου εμορφάδα, πού ’ν’ τα κάλλη σου;
Φύσηξε βοριάς κι αγέρας και τα τίναξε.
Σε παρακαλώ, βοριά μου, φύσα ταπεινά,
ν’ αρμενίσουν τα καράβια τα σπετσιώτικα.
