Ο μαρμαρωμένος βασιλιάς [O Marmaromenos Vasileias] [English translation]

I sent off two birds to the Red Apple Tree,

which foretell the destiny,

one of them got killed, the other got injured,

neither came back.

About the king that turned into marble,

not a voice, nor a sound,

he is sung however to the children,

like a fairy tale, by their grandmother

I sent off two birds to the Red Apple Tree,

two swifts,

they stayed over there however,

only to became a dream and tearful years.

About the king that turned into marble,

not a voice, nor a sound,

he is sung however to the children,

like a fairy tale, by their grandmother
