Giorgo Mouflouzelis - "Η μόστρα σου είναι όμορφη" ;;;;;;;;;

What the h** do these lyrics mean?

I am sure that you can figure them out, but I bet that the translation will be a good challenge for you !!!

Η μόστρα σου, η μόστρα σου η όμορφη
η γλώσσα σου η άυτη
που δεν την κάνω ζάφτι
που δεν την κάνω ζάφτι
Tη γλώσσα σου την άυτη

Σαν παίζω το, σαν παίζω το παιχνίδι σου
εγώ που `χω τα γένια
εγώ έχω και τα χτένια

Aν σπάσουνε, Aν σπάσουνε τα βέτα σου
τότε από `κει και κάτω
θα τρώμε σ’ ένα πιάτο
θα τρώμε σ’ ένα πιάτο
τότε από `κει και κάτω

According to the following sources (1)(2) and to my ears ..... these are the correct lyrics

Η μόστρα σου είναι όμορφη,
η γλώσσα σου τοιαύτη που δεν την κάνω ζάφτι.
Αν παίζω το παιχνίδι σου,
εγώ που' χω τα γένια εγώ 'χω και τα χτένια.
Αν σπάσουνε τα βέτα σου,
μετά 'πό 'κεί και κάτω θα τρώμε σ' ένα πιάτο

Your beautiful face,
the way that you speak it's something I can't have under control
If I participate in your game
since I'm the man I have the upper hand
When your "veto"s are lifted
we'll be sharing the food of a single plate.(*)

(*) We'll become a pair

According to the mentioned links, it's a folk melody more than 300 years old, over which many artists have written their own lyrics.

Σας ευχαριστώ, όπως πάντα, φίλε μου.

Αλλά - οι συνδέσεις;

You're welcome, as for the links click on the numbers ..... they're in Greek of course.

Thank you for clarifying about the links !

Here is "Duffy Dack's" translation (he did it on Facebook for me). It is very similar to yours, but different in a couple of places. Interesting, very interesting.

your face, your pretty face
(and) your indomitable language
I can not control it
I can not control it
your indomitable language
like I'm playing, like I'm playing your game
I, who have a beard
I have and comb (greek adage)
if your veto's be broken
then from now on
We will eat in the same plate
We will eat in the same plate
then from now on
