Little short lemon tree

Theano Papadaki
Little short lemon tree,
with your many lemons,
ah, girl from Vissani, girl from Delvinaki,
I kissed you - and fell ill.
When did you grow up so fast,
and become a schoolteacher
in the village of Doliana,
my little girl from Vissani, girl from Delvinaki?
Little short lemon tree,
with your many lemons,
ah, girl from Vissani, girl from Delvinaki,
I kissed you - and fell ill,
and I never asked the doctor.
