here you are:
Κάτω στον Άη-Γιώργη στο κρύο το νερό
σκοτώσαν το Γιαννάκη κι τον μοναχό υιό.
Near the church of St. George by the cold water stream
they killed Yiannaki, who was the only son.
Λα-λά, λα-λά, λα-λά-λα, λά-λα-λα,
λα-λά, λα-λά, λα-λά-λα, λά-λα-λα.
Τούρκοι τον εσκοτώσαν, Ρωμιοί τον κλαίγανε
και δυο κοπελουδάκια τον περιπαίζανε.
Turks killed him and Greeks mourned him
and two girls were making fun of him
Λα-λά, λα-λά, λα-λά-λα, λά-λα-λα,
λα-λά, λα-λά, λα-λά-λα, λά-λα-λα.
Γιάννη δεν έχεις μάνα, δεν έχεις αδερφή
και όμορφη γυναίκα, για να σε λυπηθεί;
Yannis you don’t have a mother, nor a sister
or a beautiful wife to mourn for you?
Λα-λά, λα-λά, λα-λά-λα, λά-λα-λα,
λα-λά, λα-λά, λα-λά-λα, λά-λα-λα.
Μα έχω’γώ και μάνα, έχω και αδερφή
και όμορφη γυναίκα, για να με λυπηθεί
But I do have a mother; I also have a sister
and a beautiful wife to mourn for me.
Λα-λά, λα-λά, λα-λά-λα, λά-λα-λα,
λα-λά, λα-λά, λα-λά-λα, λά-λα-λα.
