[Verse 1]
I give a child some change
Five golden coins
"Come on, sing to me
Two old Smyrna songs"
[Chorus]
Sing me the amanes
And let me die, but yes
I am an uprooted refugee and with Smyrnaic songs let me go
[Verse 2]
All that I have acquired
A refugee in a foreign land
Is this small change, to sing to me till dawn
[Chorus]
Sing me an amanes, brother
And let me die, yes
I am a murdered refugee;
With old Smyrnaika let me go
