about

Song of longing for a lover that is far away. Sung in Greek and Turkish.

lyrics

Come, come boatsman! Slowly, slowly
By the seashore of the city, in silence
In the oblivion of the harem
Come, come boatsman!

So that I can steal the beautiful lady
A slave in her cell, she cries and moans
And demands her freedom
Come, come boatsman!
