[bogazici86]

Yia sas friends, could you please translate this song? I hope there are no mistakes in the lyrics

AMAN KATERINA MOU

otan perno gia na se ido
ah pos me vasanizis
ehis keftedes ti fotia
ah Katerina mou glikia
ke glikotiganizis.

aman Katerina mou, kuzum Katerina mou
ta paraponakia mou, thelo na sta po.

matia san kastana, m'evalan sta vasana
ki olo apo ti porta sou, thelo na perno.

ehis tsukali pilino
ke psinis fasoulada
ki ego ap' ti lahtara mou
pezodas ti kithara mou
sou kano patinada.

Efharisto.

[catherini]

There is another verse on 'stixoi' so I've posted the Greek text from there


Όταν περνώ για να σε ιδώ
αχ πώς με βασανίζεις
έχεις κεφτέδες στη φωτιά
αχ, Κατερίνα μου γλυκιά
και γλυκοτηγανίζεις

Αμάν Κατερίνα μου
κούζουμ Κατερίνα μου
τα παραπονάκια μου θέλω να στα πω
μάτια σαν τα κάστανα
μ' έβαλαν στα βάσανα
κι όλο από την πόρτα σου θέλω να περνώ

Έχεις τσουκάλι πήλινο
και ψήνεις φασουλάδα
κι εγώ απ' την λαχτάρα μου
παίζοντας την κιθάρα μου
σου κάνω πατινάδα

Αμάν Κατερίνα μου
κούζουμ Κατερίνα μου
τα παραπονάκια μου θέλω να στα πω
μάτια σαν τα κάστανα
μ' έβαλαν στα βάσανα
κι όλο από την πόρτα σου θέλω να περνώ

Κάνεις ωραία σκορδαλιά
βάζεις περίσσιο λάδι
στην ταραμοσαλάτα σου
η σάλτσα η ντομάτα σου
που βάζεις στο πιλάφι

Αμάν Κατερίνα μου
κούζουμ Κατερίνα μου
τα παραπονάκια μου θέλω να στα πω
μάτια σαν τα κάστανα
μ' έβαλαν στα βάσανα
κι όλο από την πόρτα σου θέλω να περνώ

Thank you Amathystos, you helped me. I'm writing down the translation anyway. Here it is:

AMAN KATERINA MOU

When I pass by to see you,
oh how you torture me,
you 're cooking meatballs
(it' says you 've got meatballs on fire,
meaning you are frying those as he repeats)
oh my sweet Katerina
and you are sweetly frying them.

Aman my Katerina, Kouzoum my Katerina
(that is the 2 turkish words in the lyrics)
I want to tell you about my little complains
Eyes like chestnuts put me in tortures
and I want to pass by your door all the time.

You 've got a pot of clay
and you are cooking beansoup
and I, longing for you
playing my guitar
I sing for you.
(patinada, or kantada is the singing by the
door of your beloved, you are Italian,
I guess you know what I am talking about)

Aman my Katerina, Kouzoum my Katerina
I want to tell you about my little complains
Eyes like chestnuts put me in tortures
and I want to pass by your door all the time.
