This song “SAMIOTISSA” is a traditional
(Δημοτικό/Παραδοσιακό) song from one of the
Aegean islands of Greece: SAMOS.
SAMOS is a Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea,
separated from Turkey by the mile-wide Mycale Strait
thus making it the closest island to the Turkish borders.
It was the birthplace of Mathematician Pythagoras
and Philosopher Epicurus, and is known for producing
world famous sweet Muscat wine.
SONG LYRICS and CHORDS:
Σαμιώτισσα
In the Key of F
F
1. Σαμιώτισσα, Σαμιώτισσα,
Bb F
πότε θα πας στη Σάμο. 2x
F Bb Gm
Ρόδα θα ρίξω στο γιαλό,
F
Σαμιώτισσα,
F C F
τριαντάφυλλα στην άμμο. 2x
2. Και με τη βάρκα που θα πας,
χρυσα πανιά θα βάλω.
Μαλαματένια τα κουπιά,
Σαμιώτισσα,
για να’ρθω να σε πάρω
3. Σαμιώτισσα με τις ελιές
και με τα μαύρα μάτια.
Μου’κανες την καρδούλα μου,
Σαμιώτισσα,
σαράντα δυο κομμάτια.
4. Και με τα μαύρα σ’ αγαπώ,
και με τα λερωμένα.
Και με τα ρούχα της δουλειάς,
Σαμιώτισσα,
τρελαίνομαι για σένα.
5. Σαμιώτισσα, ο έρωτας
δεν θέλει παρακάλια.
Εχει κι αλλού πορτοκαλιές,
Σαμιώτισσα,
που κάνουν πορτοκάλια.
NOTE:
The Last line of the first verse
is at times sung with the last line
of the second verse instead.
As we have done :))
ENGLISH Translation
NOTE .. Not a direct Translation
More so the meaning:-
Samiotissa refers to a girl
from the island of SAMOS.
In this case she is a very beautiful girl 😊
1. Samiotissa, Samiotissa,
when will you go to Samos
I will throw red flowers on the shore,
Samiotissa, and roses in the sand.
2. And with the boat that you will travel,
I will put golden sails
And with special solid oars,
Samiotissa, I will come for you.
3. Samiotissa with beauty-spots
and beautiful black eyes,
my heart flutters for you,
Samiotissa, many many times.
4. In your black clothes I love you,
and also in your dirty clothes I do,
and even in your work clothes,
Samiotissa, I am crazy for you.
5. Samiotissa,
I don’t want to beg for your love
There are orange trees elsewhere,
Samiotissa,
that also make beautiful oranges.
So the last verse probably refers to her playing hard to get,
so the guy despite thinking she is absolutely beautiful
and he would bend over backwards for her
in his “eksipno” way hints to her that there are other
beautiful girls (metaphor “oranges”) as well,
and that she is not the only fish in the sea - so to speak 😊
HAPPY PLAYING and SINGING 😊
