Thread Name: Who speaks modern Greek? song translation needed
Subject: RE: Who speaks modern Greek? song translation needed
OK, let the native speak (I actually come from Salonika, and my parents and sister with her famliy still live there).

Darkriver, you got very close indeed, well done. To be precise, the title means "A beautiful GIRL bewitcheD me" - not "wench", the greek word indicates someone young and reasonably pure.

Of course, given that the Greek title is itself a translation from 16th century German, there may be inconsistencies with the original. "Fraulein" perhaps?

Glad to help with any Greek translations, folks
