Γλυκερία - Καροτσέρης / coachman
Καροτσέρη τράβα
Coachman drive
Να πάμε στα Ταταύλα
take us to "Tatavla" *
Πόσα τάλιρα γυρεύεις
how much is it
Να μας πας και να (μας) φέρεις
to take us there and bring us back?
Ααα αχ, καροτσέρη, γρήγορα να πάμε
Oh coachman, let's go fast
Τράβα, τράβα, γρήγορα να πάμε
drive, drive, so we arrive in time
Καροτσέρη τράβα ίσια
Coachman drive straight,
Να μας πας για τα Πατήσια
to take us to "Patisia" **
Ααα αχ, καροτσέρη, γρήγορα να πάμε
Oh coachman, let's go fast
Τράβα, τράβα, γρήγορα να πάμε
drive, drive, so we arrive in time
Καροτσέρη να δυο λίρες
Coachman, here two pounds for you,
Για τις βόλτες που μας πήγες
for the ride that you gave us.
Ααα αχ, καροτσέρη, γρήγορα να πάμε
Oh coachman, let's go fast
Τράβα, τράβα, γρήγορα να πάμε
drive, drive, so we arrive in time
Καροτσέρη τράβα
Coachman drive
Να πάμε στα Ταταύλα
take us to "Tatavla" *
Πόσα τάλιρα γυρεύεις
how much is it
Να μας πας και να (μας) φέρεις
to take us there and bring us back?
Ααα αχ, καροτσέρη, γρήγορα να πάμε
Oh coachman, let's go fast
Τράβα, τράβα, γρήγορα να πάμε
drive, drive, so we arrive in time
As this song is old:
* Tatavla (or in Turkish: kurtulus): is a historical district of Istanbul, which had been inhabited by Greeks until 1922. It's been said that the first inhabitants of this district were Greeks from the Greek island Cean (Χίος).
** Patisia: it's a neighborhood of Athens - Greece ... Still has the same name...
The most charming creatures on this earth. The only women who can show what they feel and, they do feel.
Stunning feeling...to just meet them.
