Original lyrics

Μινόρε της Αυγής

Ξύπνα, μικρό μου, κι άκουσε

κάποιο μινόρε της αυγής,

για σένανε είναι γραμμένο

από το κλάμα κάποιας ψυχής.

Το παραθύρι σου άνοιξε

ρίξε μου μια γλυκιά ματιά

Κι ας σβήσω πια τότε, μικρό μου,

μπροστά στο σπίτι σου σε μια γωνιά.

English

Translation

The A Minor Morning Tune

Wake up my baby and listen to

a sweet A minor morning tune

tonight it was written for you alone

by some poor crying soul's tearful sad croon

Come to your window and open it

throw me just one angelic look

then I can fade happy my baby

close to your porch's steps, into some nook
