Smile Alkistis Protopsalti - Mavro Xioni*

Hello, could you translate this song for me?Thanks in advance.


Μαύρο χιόνι

Στίχοι: Λίνα Νικολακοπούλου
Μουσική: Παραδοσιακό
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Άλκηστις Πρωτοψάλτη

Μου 'πε, μάνα, θα 'ρχεται
και πέρασαν τα βράδια
Δέντρα φύλλα να 'χετε
να παίρνει ο αγέρας χάδια.

Τρένο που τρέχεις γρήγορο
απ' τον καπνό σου κέρνα
και μ' ένα μαύρο σίδερο
τα σωθικά μου πέρνα.

Μαύρο χιόνι χιόνισε
και πείνασαν οι πόνοι
βγες καρδιά κανόνισε
να χτυπηθούμε μόνοι.

Μ' ένα τρένο γρήγορο
την αγάπη μου έχασα
κόσμε του Άδη σύνορο
να θυμάμαι ξέχασα.

Κλείσε πόρτα κλείδωσε
κι ο Θεός ν' ακούει
μια καρδιά που πλήγωσε
κι άλλον υπακούει.

Μ' ένα μαύρο σύννεφο
το φεγγάρι μου έχασα
κόσμε του Άδη σύνορο
να θυμάμαι ξέχασα.

Λουλουδάκι μου άγριο
και χρυσό πουκάμισο
πώς θα πέσουμε αύριο
στου καημού την άβυσσο

Μ' ένα μαύρο σίδερο
τον καθρέφτη μου έσπασα
κόσμε του Άδη σύνορο
να θυμάμαι ξέχασα.

I love this song very much,and I always thought that the music was composed by Goran Bregovic?

I understand the lyrics only roughly, I´d need my dictionary for this.
So I hope someone will do it for Milena (and me).

Thanks in advance also from my side.

Μαύρο χιόνι
Black snow

Μου 'πε, μάνα, θα 'ρχεται
My mum told me, she would come
και πέρασαν τα βράδια
and the nights passed
Δέντρα φύλλα να 'χετε
Trees (to) have leaves
να παίρνει ο αγέρας χάδια.
so that the wind will receive caresses.

Τρένο που τρέχεις γρήγορο
Train that you go fast
απ' τον καπνό σου κέρνα
treat me your smokes
και μ' ένα μαύρο σίδερο
and with a black iron
τα σωθικά μου πέρνα.
pierce my entrails.

Μαύρο χιόνι χιόνισε
Black snow fell
και πείνασαν οι πόνοι
and the pains were hungry
βγες καρδιά κανόνισε
come out heart and arrange
να χτυπηθούμε μόνοι.
to fight each other alone.

Μ' ένα τρένο γρήγορο
With a fast train
την αγάπη μου έχασα
I lost my love
κόσμε του Άδη σύνορο
world, border of Ades
να θυμάμαι ξέχασα.
I forgot (how) to remember

Κλείσε πόρτα κλείδωσε
Close, lock the door
κι ο Θεός ν' ακούει
and God to listen
μια καρδιά που πλήγωσε
a heart which got hurt
κι άλλον υπακούει.
and obeys to somebody else.

Μ' ένα μαύρο σύννεφο
With a black cloud
το φεγγάρι μου έχασα
I lost my moon
κόσμε του Άδη σύνορο
world, border of Ades
να θυμάμαι ξέχασα.
I forgot (how) to remember

Λουλουδάκι μου άγριο
My wild little flower
και χρυσό πουκάμισο
and golden shirt
πώς θα πέσουμε αύριο
how will we fall tomorrow
στου καημού την άβυσσο
in sorrow's abyss

Μ' ένα μαύρο σίδερο
With a black iron
τον καθρέφτη μου έσπασα
I broke my mirror
κόσμε του Άδη σύνορο
world, border of Ades
να θυμάμαι ξέχασα.
I forgot (how) to remember.

What a popular song!

Thank you very much Maria mou.

@Tahira: I recommend you to listen to "Ederlezi Avela" too.(Dom za vesanje - Time of the Gypsies) Awesome song.

Lina Nikolakopoulou's lyrics are always metaphorical and allegorical. I love them, but they are somewhat difficult to translate.

By the way, Maraki mou, English-speaking people say "Hades".
Actually, it's what just about everybody but the Greeks call him.


P.S. Ederlezi is a traditional song, too.

Thank you panselinos for background information!

Thank you Milena for suggesting Ederlazi. I just watched a scenery inyoutube. And I remember many years ago I saw a part of this film on a cultural TV program.

Looking though my music collection I also found a version of this song sang by Sezen Aksu ("hellal ettim hakkim").
