Lyrics

– Where to, master ant, where to?
where go you burnt so black
with that grub hoe ’pon your back?

– I’m going across the water,
to Wallachia blacky’s bound
to plant myself a vineyard
like a garden in the ground.

I harvested and trod them,
blacky’s trod upon the grapes,
and three full barrels filled
like three beautiful maids.

Translated by Michael Eleftheriou

Original Lyrics

Πού πας αφέντη μέρμηγκα

− Πού πας αφέντη μέρμηγκα, και πάλι μέρμηγκα,
γιεμ, πού πας, πού πας κατακαημένε
με τ’ αλέ- τ’ αλέτρι φορτωμένε;

− Θα πάω απάνω στη Βλαχιά, ο μαύρος στη Βλαχιά,
για να φκιά- να φκιάξω έν’ αμπελάκι
σαν το- σαν το περιβολάκι.

Το τρύγησα, το πάτησα, ο μαύρος το πάτησα,
γιεμ, γεμί- γεμίζω τρεις βαρέλες
σαν τις ό- τις όμορφες κοπέλες.
