Άσμα Ασμάτων [Asma asmaton] [English translation]

How beautiful my love is,

With her everday dress

And a clip in her hair

No one knew that she was so beautiful

Girls of Auschwitz,

Girls of Dachau,

By any chance, have you seen my love?

We saw her on a long journey.

She wasn't wearing her dress anymore,

Nor did she have a clip in her hair

How beautiful my love is

Pampered by her mother,

And her brother's kisses

No one knew that she was so beautiful

Girls of Mathausen,

Girls of Belsen,

By any chance, have you seen my love?

We saw her standing in the frozen courtyard,

With a number on her pale arm,

A yellow star over her heart

How beautiful my love is

Pampered by her mother,

And her brother's kisses

No one knew that she was so beautiful
