Χάλα - Χάλα
Θεία μ' την θαγατέρα σου δος ατεν τερπιέν-ιν
θα συρ' και παιρ' το ψόπο μου, μ' αίκον ταπιέτιν
Χάλα-Χάλα, καλοχάλα, είδα σε θειίτσα μ' κ' εχάρα
είδα σε θειίτσα μ' κ' εχάρα, έρθα δος μα την φραντάλαν.
Θειίτσα μ' να λελεύω σε ντο λέγω σε για ποίσον,
'μεν και τη θαγατέρα σου 'ς έναν μερέαν χτίσον.
Θειίτσα μ' να λελεύω σε, ναι θεία μ' καλοθεία,
για δος μα το κορτσόπο σου, ατό με τ' άσπρα ψήα.

Hi. Do you speak Greek to judge this translation's quality? It's not among the languages you speak.

Hello! I don't speak Greek, but as of my experience in translation and resources I look for, says that it is a perfect translation. I am also fan of this song in Persian.

Then how can you judge if this translation is perfect if you don't speak the base language?

As of rules, I know them.
Don't you think this translation is perfect?

I don't, the very first verse has a grammar mistake - and I'm speaking for the English translation only: My aunt say to your daughter to behave or > My aunt tells your daughter to behave or OR My aunts say to your daughter 'Behave!'. Also, the first stanza is confusing, whose daughter was asked to behave? Is it the listener's? And whose soul is it? It's not clear.

It's a little difficult to translate it in English, but the general meaning is that a boy asks from an aunt(or an aged woman) to marry her daughter.
