In this boat ...

This is not so much about the lyrics. It is the lovely melody that goes with it ...
... an old favourite of mine ... ...

music and verse by Manos Hadjidakis


Μεσ' αυτή τη βάρκα


Μες σ' αυτή τη βάρκα είμαι μοναχή
κι έχω συντροφιά μου κάτασπρο πουλί

Σημάδι ρίχνω στο γιαλό, μα πώς να σου το πω
Είσαι ένα αστέρι μακρινό, τη νύχτα σε φιλώ

Θέλω να φυτέψω πεύκο λυγερό
για να μεγαλώσει και να το χαρώ

Σημάδι ρίχνω...

Μπλέκω τα μαλλιά μου μ' άστρα και βροχή
και στα όνειρά μου κάνω προσευχή

Σημάδι ρίχνω...

Μεσ' αυτή τη βάρκα
/ Mes' afti ti varka
In this boat

Μες σ' αυτή τη βάρκα είμαι μοναχή
/ mes' afti ti varka, ime monahi
in this boat, I am on my own
κι έχω συντροφιά μου κάτασπρο πουλί
/ ki eho sintrofia mou, kataspro pouli
and I have as my companion, an all-white bird

Refrain
Σημάδι ρίχνω στο γιαλό, μα πώς να σου το πω
/ simadi rihno sto yalo, ma pos na sou to po
I throw a sign at the seashore, but then how do I say it to you
Είσαι έν' αστέρι μακρινό, τη νύχτα σε φιλώ
/ ise en' asteri makrino, ti nihta se filo
you are a distant star, at night time I kiss you


Θέλω να φυτέψω πεύκο λυγερό
/ thelo na fitepso pefko liyero
I want to plant a slender pine-tree
για να μεγαλώσει και να το χαρώ
/ ya na megalosi ke na to haro
so that it may grow and I may relish it


Refrain
Σημάδι ρίχνω ...
/ simadi rihno ...
I throw a sign ...

Μπλέκω τα μαλλιά μου μ' άστρα και βροχή
/ mpleko ta malia mou m' astra ke vrohi
I net (entangle) my hair, with stars and rain
και στα όνειρά μου κάνω προσευχή
/ ke sta onira mou kano prosefhi
and in my dreams, I make a prayer


Refrain
Σημάδι ρίχνω ...
/ simadi rihno ...
I throw a sign ...
