Quel Galant m'est comparable | Quel galant m'est comparable

Translation by Michel Dimitri Calvocoressi (1877 - 1944)

Ποιος ασίκης σαν κ' εμένα

Language: Greek (Ελληνικά)

Ποιος ασίκης σαν κ' εμένα,
στο μπαζάρι περπατεί...
καπετάν Βασιλιχή;

Με κουμπούρια δυο στη μέση
και με δίκανο σπαθί...
Για σ' αγάπη μου χρυσή.
