Σεράντα μήλα
Forty apples

Seranda mila

Forty red apples,
knotted in a kerchief tight.
Though you taste forty loves,
you’ll never find my like.

Where I stand, I’m overtaken,
where I stand, my senses sway.
My knees begin to tremble—
I feel my life slip away.

Σεράντα μήλα - forty apples

about

Sung in the Pontian Greek dialect, the song portrays love as an all-consuming force, though in few words. shifting from self-assured desire to the fear of emptiness without the beloved.
