    Smile Lyrics and translation from 'stixoi.info

    Το παπάκι

    Έχω ένα παπάκι να μου κάνει πα
    να μου κάνει πα, πα, πα
    Και ένα κουνελάκι που όλο μου κουνάει
    που όλο μου κουνάει τ' αφτιά

    Και δε μου καίγεται καρφί
    αν εσύ περνάς και δε μου ξαναμιλάς

    Ίσως να ξανάρθεις όταν θα έχω πια
    όταν, θα έχω πια χαθεί
    κι ή θα μ' έχουν θάψει ή θα έχω μα-
    ή θα έχω μαραθεί

    Και ας μη σου καίγεται καρφί
    Και ας συνήθισες και ας συνήθισες και εσύ

    A Little Duck

    I have a little duck, to make me "pa"
    to make me "pa", ''pa", "pa".
    And a little rabbit, which all the time is moving me
    which all the time is moving me its ears.

    And I don't care
    If you 're leaving or if you won't talk me again.

    Maybe you come back
    when I 'll have been lost
    And perhaps "they" 'll have bared me, or I 'll be
    or I 'll be faded.

    Just don't care about me
    and I don't care if you have got accustomed that.



    What a lovely song, this version on you tube is very moving, I wonder what the story is behind the song ?

    Nikolas Asimos wrote this song as a lullaby for his daughter.
