Lamento (Miroloi) lyrics - Irene Papas



- “Little white fisherman’s boat, why are you decorated?”
- “His mother has decorated me, and she sends me into the black earth.”
- “Don’t cover me, sky; don’t press me, soil; because I am not done enjoying my youth yet”
- “Which sky, which sea, which fountain doesn’t turn dark? Which mother loses her child and doesn’t melt from sorrow?”

[Oh boy I’m not sure who says what to whom here. It seems somebody asks the boat; the boat answers, and then the dead fisherman asks the sky and the earth not to be buried, and then somebody makes the general remark that the entire nature mourns the guy and a mother whose child dies will melt from sorrow. I left the word construction as close to the original as possible.]
