Bitter sweet

For a gentle Sunday night, Savina Yannatou sings a traditional Greek wedding song



Come out, my mother, to see the sun
And if it gets dark, tell me to leave
I'm going away from my parents
Away from my brothers, sisters, relatives

(Translation from the notes to the album Sumiglia)

Sumiglia is the album I have by Yannatou that we talked about before. Lush.
