A girl with a

flute

(Μια κοπέλα με δίαυλο)

Μιά κοπέλα με δίαυλο

περπατεί και παίζει μια ωραία

μουσική

Μια κοπέλα με δίαυλο

συνεχίζει την μουσική

που σε οδηγεί

στον Παράδεισο.

Μιά κοπέλα στο παράθυρο μπροστά

παίζει δίαυλο και μας χαιρετά

όταν το φεγγάρι ανεβεί στον ουρανό

αυτή παίζει σιγανό ρυθμό.

Παίζει δίαυλο πολύ

και ο ήλιος της δίνει αντοχή

Τα καστανά μαλλιά της ανεμίζει και την μουσική της γεμίζει.

Τα αστέρια κοιτά και όλο μας χαμογελά

όταν ακούει μουσική

δίαυλο παίζει απ' την αρχή.

Μουσική να ακούει παντοτινά

θα νιώθει γιορτινά

Θα αλλάξει και ρυθμό

και όλα θα τα κρίνω εγώ

Κάθε μέρα παίζει δίαυλο

γι αυτό όλη η γη είναι χαρωπή και εγώ μαζί.

Και το βράδυ θα ονειρευτεί

πώς είναι σε μια πανέμορφη γιορτή΄

και η μουσική τελειώνει στην πλατεία των λαμπιόνι

A Celebration

(Μια γιορτή)

Οι κιθάρες παίζανε

και τα βιολιά μιλούσανε

τα ακκόρντεόν χτυπάγανε

κι ο κόσμος από κάτω

χειροκροτούσε κι έλεγε:

Είναι εκπληκτικό - εκπληκτικό

το θέαμα αυτό

Ήταν πολύ ωραίο

για αυτό θα το χαρώ

Θα γυρίσω όλον τον κόσμο

και θα γνωρίσω καινούριους

ανθρώπους

και θα τους μιλάω

καλά

(Τρεις Μουσικοί)

Τρεις μουσικοί

με άρπα κιθάρα και βιολί

παίζανε μαζί με τα όργανά τους

μια μουσική τρελή

Τρεις μουσικοί

με άρπα κιθάρα και βιολί

τρεις φίλοι αχώριστοι

παίζαν μουσική

στα χωράφια μιας γιορτής

Έτσι αυτοί οι τρείς μουσικοί

με μια άρπα κιθάρα και βιολί

παίζανε μαζί, όλοι μαζί.

Τρεις μουσικοί

με άρπα και βιολί

παίζουν την καλύτερη

μουσική

και έχουν και καλή φωνή

στη λαϊκή γιορτή

και μια κοπέλα με αυλό

κάνει τον καλύτερο ρυθμό

και μια κοπέλα με αυλό

κάνει τον καλύτερο ρυθμό
