Song: I Margarita i Margaro                                                                                                       In my TheodorakisFriends channel I uploaded my video for Margarita.                            Music in this video:
Title: I Margarita i Margaro
Composer: Mikis Theodorakis
Singer: Grigoris Bithikotsis

Translated lyrics ( English):

Margarita, Margaro!
Little dove in the sky,
In your two eyes I see heaven
I see the twinkling of the stars.

Your mother she is crazy
She’s locked you in, you’re on your own.
When I want to come to your room
You throw me down a rope of silk
And locked in together, night looks in on us,
So do the stars and then the dawn.

Margarita, Margaro!
Little boat on Saronic sea,
O my Saronic sea, O give me little waves,
Give me gentle breeze and give me the open sea!

Your mother she is crazy,
She’s locked you in, you’re on your own.
When I want to come to your room
You throw me down a rope of silk,
And locked in together, night looks in on us,
So do the stars and then the dawn.

Margarita, Margaro
Little tree in Botaniko!
Take the tram when you see nightfall
The hours go by, I’m falling, I feel faint.

My mother she is crazy
And she locked me in, I’m on my own.
When I want you to come to my room
I throw you down a rope of silk,
And locked in together, night looks in on us,
So do the stars and then the dawn.
