The song is called “My Sweet Pearl“, or in Greek “Μαργαριταρένια μου“, and its lyrics are so poetic that it is too difficult to explain to any other language. Thanasis plays in his unique way the melody on his custom ancient lyre, lovingly handcrafted by LUTHIEROS Master Luthier, Anastasios. ⚫ Find the perfect lyre for you at 🔵 Learn how to play the lyre and other ancient musical instruments at // Who is the Wandering Melodist?

Άιντε, καλέ μάνα, αγάπα με κι εμένα, κούνει, καλέ μάνα, το παιδί για μένα… Αναστενάζω, δε μ’ ακούς, μαργαριταρένια μου, κλαίω, δε με λυπάσαι, κλαίω δε με λυπάσαι. Άιντε, καλέ μάνα, αγάπα με κι εμένα, κούνει, καλέ μάνα, το παιδί για μένα… Δεν είσαι μάνας γέννημα, μαργαριταρένια μου, ούτε Θεό φοβάσαι, ούτε Θεό φοβάσαι. Άιντε, καλέ μάνα, αγάπα με κι εμένα, κούνει, καλέ μάνα, το παιδί για μένα… Άιντε, καλέ μάνα, αγάπα με κι εμένα, κούνει, καλέ μάνα, το παιδί για μένα…
