Greek christmas carols (translation)

  • Greek Christmas Carols

    (Peloponesian)

     

    Christ’s Birth, the Lord’s Birth

    The first holiday of the year

    Come out, see and learn

    That Jesus is born.

    He’s born and raised

    In honey and milk,

    Lords eat the honey,

    And Melissa is what

    Ladies wash their hair with.

    Lady, with your beautiful neck,

    And your beautifully-shaped eyebrows,

    When you’re dressing up

    To go to church,

    Your face is the sun

    And the moon is your arms

    And the clear morning star Is the ring.

    We haven’t come here

    To eat and drink,

    But just because we love you

    It’s you we’ve come to see.

    Give us the roaster

    Asa well as the hen,

    Give us five or six eggs

    To go next door then.
