Here is a direct translation....


Foni Dillirkodissa
Voice of the Tilliria region


There i-virivi-s a sta-varava-r that i-virivi-s so small,
Am-avarav-ong the pla-varava-nets se-vereve-ven.
My li-viri-ttle bla-vara-ck-eyed girl.

They go-vorovo-t down d-ivirivi-eep into vuruvu my heart
Those w-everev-ords that you vuruvu have spo-vorovo-ken.
My li-viri-ttle blue-vuru-eyed girl.

The cr-everev-azy w-uvuruv-oman go-vorovo-t to hear
That s-uvuruv-oon I’d be virivi depa-varava-rting.
My li-viri-ttle bla-vara-ck-eyed girl.

She ca-varava-st a spe-vereve-ll upo-vorovo-n the sea,
And the vereve wind sta-varava-rted bl-ovorov-owing.
My li-viri-ttle blue-vuru-eyed girl.

And a-varava-s I bi-virivi-d her f-everev-are thee well,
She stoo-vuruvu-d there bla-varava-nkly st-everev-aring.
My li-viri-ttle bla-vara-ck-eyed girl.

She s-ovorov-oaked five ha-varava-ndkerch-iviriv-iefs in tears,
And the vereve dress she virivi was w-everev-earing.
My li-viri-ttle blue-vuru-eyed girl.

To he-vereve-ll with hi-virivi-m who d-everv-ares to say
That h-avarav-oney i-virivi-s a sw-iviriv-eet thing.
My li-viri-ttle bla-vara-ck-eyed girl.

Much sw-iviriv-eeter i-virivi-s a te-vereve-nder kiss
From a vereve young g-everev-irl who’s wi-virivi-lling.
My li-viri-ttle blue-vuru-eyed girl.

Tilirkotisa, Ta Riallia, etc..

(I have to agree, Anna Vissi's surgeon is really rather good..although he may be losing his touch slightly as she did look a wee bit 'stretched' at the Athens Olympics a few years back.. :shock: :wink: )


Natty excellent video. Loved it! And I miss places in Cyprus with music like that and dancing until we close that place with the owner! :(
