Lyrics

The dawn of dawn, I’ll rise at the dawn of dawn
to get myself to the mountain’s root,
at the mountain’s root to greet the day.

To greet the day, o mount of mine, atop your peak.
To wander upon your flank,
To stroll across your meadow
To find a firm-set stone, to bend and sit,
To hear the hawk cry and the falcon speak,
To hear the partridge sweetly cackle,
To hear the rock thrush.

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Αυγή τσ’ αυγής

Αυγή τσ’ αυγής, αυγή τσ’ αυγής θα σηκωθώ
’πού του βουνού τη ρίζα, ’πού του βουνού τη ρίζα
να σύρω να- να σύρω να ξημερωθώ.

Να σύρω να ξημερωθώ, βουνό μου στην κορφή σου
να κάμω κύκλο στο βουνό, βολίτα στη μαδάρα
να βρω μια μπέτρα ριζιμιά, να διπλωθώ να κάτσω
ν’ ακούσω γερακιού φωνή και φάλκο να λαλήσει
ν’ ακούσω και την πέρδικα να γλυκοκακαρίσει
ν’ ακούσω πετροκότσυφο.
