  Dedes (1993)

  Costas Leventopoulos Αφέντης μας έν κι αγαπούμεν τον
  κι απ' εκείνον έν καλή η ζωή μας.
  Γιατί γύρισες, γιατί βρώμισες;
  πε με τι έπαθες, πε με τι έχασες!
  (Άι καρδιά μου, άι ψυχή μου!
  άι το ετούτο μου, άι το εκείνο μου,
  αχ σπίτι μου, αχ στέγη μου!
  Αχ θησαυρέ μου, αχ χρυσοπηγή!)
  Έλα καλέ μου, έλα σάχη μου·
  χαρά δε δίδεις, δος μας άνεμο!
  Που διψά πίνει, που πονεί λαλεί·
  μηδέν τσάκωσες, καλέ, το γυαλί;
  He is our Master and we love him
  and because of Him our life is good.
  Why have you come back, why did you get dirty?
  Tell me what happened to you, tell me what you have lost!
  (Oh my heart, oh my soul,
  oh my this, oh my that,
  ah, my house, ah my shelter!
  Ah, my treasure, ah golden spring!)
  Come my darling, come my shah,
  you give no joy: give us the wind!
  Who thirsts, drinks; who hurts, cries out;
  darling, have you smashed the glass?
