TEXT in Greek
Από ξένο τόπο κι'απ'αλαργινό, ήρθε ένα κορίτσι, φως μου,
δώδεκα χρονών.
Είχε μαύρα μάτια και σγουρά μαλλιά και στο μάγουλό της, φως μου,
είχε μια ελιά

TRANSLATION in English
From a foreign land and from a distant one
there came a girl, oh light of mine, 12 years old

She had black eyes and curly hair
and on her cheek, oh light of mine, she had a beauty mark

______________

TEXT in Turkish
Üsküdar'a gider iken aldı da bir yağmur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, eteği çamur.

Kâtip uykudan uyanmış gözleri mahmur
Kâtip benim ben kâtibin el ne karışır
Kâtibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır.

TRANSLATION in English
While going to Üsküdar, it started to rain
My clerk's frock coat is long, the edges are muddy

The clerk has woken up from sleep, his eyes are languid
The clerk belongs to me, I belong to the clerk, what is it to others?
How handsome my clerk looks with starched shirt
