Lyrics

Amarandos has received the order to go to war.
He forges horseshoes of silver and nails of gold,
He shoes his black steed by the light of the moon.
His beloved beside him holds the nails in her kerchief:
– Where are you going, where are you going,
Amarandos and what are you leaving me?
– I leave you my patroti saint Constantine.
– I leave you my mother the Holy Virgin.
– I leave you a gold cross and a silver ring;
Sell the ring for food and prostrate yourself before the cross.

Original Lyrics

Ο Μάραντον

Tον Mάραντον χαρτίν έρθεν να πάει και σην στρατείαν.
Κόφτ’ ασ’ ασήμιν πέταλα κι ασό χρυσάφ’ καρφία,
τον μαύρον ατ’ καλίβωνεν κατάντικρυ σον φέγγον
κι η κάλη ν-ατ’ παρέστεκεν με το μαντήλ’ καρφία.
- Πού πας, πού πας, νε Mάραντε, κι εμέν τίναν αφήνεις;
- Αφήνω σε σον κύρην μου, σον Άεν Kωσταντίνον.
- Πού πας, πού πας, νε Mάραντε, κι εμέν τίναν αφήνεις;
- Αφήνω σε σην μάνα μου, σην Αγίαν Eλένην.
- Πού πας, πού πας, νε Mάραντε, κι εμέν τίναν αφήνεις;
- Αφήνω σε χρυσόν σταυρόν κι αργύρεν δαχτυλίδιν,
πούλτσον και φα το δαχτυλίδ’ και τον σταυρόν προσκύνα.
