Title: I Margarita i Margaro
Composer: Mikis Theodorakis
Singer: Grigoris Bithikotsis


Translated lyrics ( English):

Margarita, Margaro!
Little dove in the sky,
In your two eyes I see heaven
I see the twinkling of the stars.

Your mother she is crazy
She's locked you in, you're on your own.
When I want to come to your room
You throw me down a rope of silk
And locked in together, night looks in on us,
So do the stars and then the dawn.

Margarita, Margaro!
Little boat on Saronic sea,
O my Saronic sea, O give me little waves,
Give me gentle breeze and give me the open sea!

Your mother she is crazy,
She's locked you in, you're on your own.
When I want to come to your room
You throw me down a rope of silk,
And locked in together, night looks in on us,
So do the stars and then the dawn.

Margarita, Margaro
Little tree in Botaniko!
Take the tram when you see nightfall
The hours go by, I'm falling, I feel faint.

My mother she is crazy
And she locked me in, I'm on my own.
When I want you to come to my room
I throw you down a rope of silk,
And locked in together, night looks in on us,
So do the stars and then the dawn.

All time classic ;-)

[TheodorakisFriends]

@MethismeniPoliteia Yes, it is, and though there are already many many videos on tube with this song and all kinds of variations in sceneries, I could not resist the Margaritas in the garden here, growing wild and free, and so many. They reminded me of this song and well, here it is. She deserves a tribute. You will understand more if you click on the url in the information, the one that leads to the Cretan website, with her life story, about the impact on her soul, being Mikis' daughter.

Πολύ όμορφο video.

Άραγε πόσες χιλιάδες φορές τραγουδήσαμε αυτό το πανέμορφο τραγούδι?

Από τα χρόνια του Γυμνασίου μέχρι τώρα στα 65

Να είσαι ευτυχισμένη Μαργαρίτα και ο Μίκης μας, να μας δώσει κ’ άλλα τραγούδια για τον αγώνα όλων των λαών που ξετυλίγεται στις μέρες μας.
