Thread Name: Who speaks modern Greek? song translation needed
Subject: RE: Who speaks modern Greek? song translation needed
Let me go out on a limb and hazard a guess.
koritsi = woman, in the sense of bird, girl, wench
omorpho = beautiful, good-looking
mageuo = to charm, beguile, bewitch, enchant, entrance, ravish
(I know these aren't really equivalent)
Therefore, Me magepse ena omorfo koritsi = "A beautiful wench bewitches me"
Otherwise, maybe "My magpie's in a morphological chorus"
