about

traditional song from Mykonos

lyrics

There was one day long ago,
a young girl named Vienoula,
who claimed she wasn’t afraid of Death. 
When Death heard this he became enraged.
He turned into a black swallow
and sang her a song: the song of death. 
The doctors were trying to save her and her mother too.
“You are dying my daughter, what is your last wish?”
“Mother, farewell, please dress me as a bride. 
My love is coming back and I will not be alive. 
Please, when he comes, don’t tell him right away
but give him food to dine.
Then, take the ring from my finger
and give it to him as a gift. 
A gift to love another.
For I am getting married,
I am taking Death as my husband.”
