Thread Name: Who speaks modern Greek? song translation needed
Subject: Origins: who speaks modern Greek?
I was testing a new search engine today and entered "Praetorius MIDI." I was directed to the web site of the Phonolites, a choir of singing geologists in Thessalonika, Greece. (Phonolite is a rock which rings when struck with a hammer. The Devil's Tower in Wyoming is made of phonolite.)

The Phonolites have provided a MIDI of a song by Caspar Othmayr of 16th-century Germany. The title of the song in Greek is "Me magepse ena omorfo koritsi."

Can anyone tell me what the title means? The song is a nice one, and I intend to play it with my friends.
