Lyrics

What did I do to you, my sun, what did I do?
What did I do and now you’re set on setting?

Tourna, tourna, tourna
there’s a storm blown up.

And you leave me in the dark…
and you leave me in the dark
and go elsewhere to shine.

Tourna, tourna, tourna
there’s a storm blown up.
Gialeli tatourna
there’s a storm blown up.

Sun of mine a-setting, I would ask you,
go, greet my most precious lily.

Sun of mine a-setting, wait awhile
so I can send a carnation to my love.

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Ήλιε μου, ίντα σου ’καμα

Ήλιε μου, ίντα σου ’καμα, ήλιε μου, ίντα σου ’καμα
ήλιε μου, ίντα σου ’καμα και πας να βασιλέψεις;

Τούρνα, τούρνα, τούρνα
μας έπιασε φουρτούνα.

Κι αφήνεις με στα σκοτεινά, κι αφήνεις με στα σκοτεινά
κι αφήνεις με στα σκοτεινά και πας αλλού να φέξεις.

Τούρνα, τούρνα, τούρνα
μας έπιασε φουρτούνα
ε γιαλελί τατούρνα
μας έπιασε φουρτούνα.

Ήλιε μου, στο βασιλεμό θε να σου παραγγείλω
να πάεις να μου χαιρετάς τον ακριβό μου κρίνο.

Ήλιε μου, στο βασιλεμό περίμενε λιγάκι
να στείλω στην αγάπη μου ένα γαριφαλάκι.
