and the lyrics:

'Ενα πρωινό (Άναμπελ)

Ένα πρωινό η Παναγιά μου
θά 'ρθει να με βρει στην ακρογιαλιά.
Πέλαγο κρυφό τα όνειρά μου
κι έστειλες εσύ βάρκα με πανί.

Πόσο σ' αγαπώ κανείς δεν ξέρει
κι αν θα μ' αγαπάς, μικρό μου ταίρι
καλοκαιρινό, σ' αγαπώ.

Θα σταθείς ψηλά στο παραθύρι
πάνω στα μαλλιά άστρα του νοτιά.
Έχει η Παναγιά καραβοκύρη
να μας πάει μακριά, πέρα απ' τη στεριά.

and why, may I ask, are you crying?

It's personal. Has to do with the song's context...

sorry, never meant to intrude...

Evharisto para, ma para poli pedia.....

parakalo!

No worries. The thoughts are mine, so mine too is the responsibilty to deal with them.

For the time being and since we are getting off-topic, I translated the song, with a few comments.

'Ενα πρωινό-One Morning

Ένα πρωινό η Παναγιά μου
Ena proino, i Panagia mou
One morning, my Virgin Mary
θά 'ρθει να με βρει στην ακρογιαλιά.
Tha erthi na me vri, stin akrogialia
Will come to find me, at the waterside
Πέλαγο κρυφό τα όνειρά μου
Pelago krifo, ta onira mou
An open sea concealed, my dreams (are)
κι έστειλες εσύ βάρκα με πανί.
Ki estiles esi, varka me pani
And then you sent, a boat with a sail

Πόσο σ' αγαπώ κανείς δεν ξέρει
Poso s' agapo kanis den xeri
How much I love you, nobody knows
κι αν θα μ' αγαπάς, μικρό μου ταίρι
ki an tha m' agapas, mikro mou teri
And whether you love me, my little mate
καλοκαιρινό, σ' αγαπώ.
kalokerino, s' agapo
of the summer, I love thee

Θα σταθείς ψηλά στο παραθύρι
Tha stathis psila, sto parathiri
You ‘ll stand high at the hatch
πάνω στα μαλλιά άστρα του νοτιά.
Pano sta malia, astra tou notia
Onto your hair, stars of south wind
Έχει η Παναγιά καραβοκύρη
Ehi h Panagia karavokiri
Virgin Mary has a skipper
να μας πάει μακριά, πέρα απ' τη στεριά.
Na mas pai makria, pera ap' ti steria
To sail us away, beyond the land…

Πόσο σ' αγαπώ κανείς δεν ξέρει
Poso s' agapo kanis den xeri
How much I love you, nobody knows
κι αν θα μ' αγαπάς, μικρό μου ταίρι
ki an tha m' agapas, mikro mou teri
And whether you love me, my little mate
καλοκαιρινό, σ' αγαπώ.
kalokerino, s' agapo
of the summer, I love thee

The lyrics, as they are, probably make little or no sense in English. Sadly there is nothing that can be done about it. Some meanings simply cannot be conveyed in another language. But this is definetely one of most melancholic, sad and melodic love songs ever composed in Greek language. Everyone in Greece has heard it, fallen in love with it, cried with it…

Perhaps one can easier perceive if he/she watches the original movie, Koritsia ston ilio (Girls in the sun), shot in B/W in 1968, it can be found here:

Full movie:

For the record it talks about the summer amour of a English tourist girl with a Greek shepherd in the Greek island of Andros. The relationship between them grows very strangely, since the girl does not speak Greek, nor does the shepherd speak English. It’s a time when words loose their sense and a simple but sincere glance tells a lot, way a lot more and needs no translation…

It was the official Greek participation for the Academy award for best foreign movie for 1970.
