Ástrapsen i Anatolí
koúna paramána to paidí (repeat)
kai vróntisen tisen i dýsi,
koúna to paidí
min týchei kai xypnísei.
Min min tý min týchei kai xypnísei,
koúna to paidí
min týchei kai xypnísei.

The sunrise shone
Nurse, rock the child (repeat)
and the west thundered,
Rock the child
do not happen to wake up.
do not let it not happen and wake up.
Rock the child
do not happen to wake up.

Greek – Άστραψεν η ανατολή

Άστραψεν η ανατολή
κούνα παραμάνα το παιδί (repeat)
και βρόντησεν η δύση,
κούνα το παιδί
μην τύχει και ξυπνήσει.
μην μην τύ μην τύχει και ξυπνήσει.
κούνα το παιδί
μην τύχει και ξυπνήσει.
