Greek New Year Song

Greek Version :

Ayios Vasilis erhete
Ke den mas katadehete
Apo, apo tin kesaria.
Sis arhon sis arhondissa Kiria!
Vastari penna ke harti
Zaharokandio zimoni
Harti, harti ke kalamari
Des eme, des eme, to pallikari!

To kalamari egrafe
Ti mira toy tin elege
Ke to, ke to harti omili.
To hriso, to hriso mas kaiofili!

Arhiminia kiarhihronia
Psili mou dendrolivania,
Ke arhi, ke arhi kalos mas hronos.
Eklisia, eklisia, me tayio thronos!

Arhi pou vgiken o Hristos
Ayios ke Pnevmatikos,
Sti gi, gi na perpatisi
Ke na mas, ke na mas kalokardisi!

English Translation :

Saint Basil comes,
And does not acknowledge us
From Caesarea.
You are, you are the mistress of the house!

He holds a pen and paper
And leavened sweets
Paper, paper and ink. Look at me,
look at me, the brave one!

The ink wrote
And told fortunes,
And the, and the paper spoke.
Our golden, our golden clove!

It is the first day of the month and the year,
My tall rosemary,
And from, and from the beginning a good year for us.
The church, the church with the holy throne!

Christ came in the beginning,
Holy and Spiritual;
On earth, on earth he walked
To give us, to give us good cheer!
