Σε ψηλό βουνό (Ο Αητός)
Σε ψηλό βουνό,
σε ριζιμιό χαράκι,
κάθεται έν’ αϊτός.
Βρεμένος, χιονισμένος
ο καημένος και παρακαλεί.
Και παρακαλεί
τον ήλιο ν’ ανατείλει.
Ήλιε ανάτειλε ήλιε ανάτειλε.
Ήλιε λάμψε και δώσε
για να λιώσουνε
χιόνια από τα φτερά μου
και τα κρούσταλλα
από τ’ ακράνυχά μου.
Ήλιε ανάτειλε ήλιε ανάτειλε.
English Lyrics:
On a high mountain (The Eagle)
On a high mountain, in a deep gorge
sits an eagle, wet, full of snow
and begs the sun to rise:
O Sun, rise, o sun shine and give
so it melts, the snow from my talons.
Traditional song of Crete (Rizitiko).
