Why We Need Dolls In Our Lives - Ruby Lane Blog: Why We Need Dolls In Our Lives:  No culture has been without dolls.

Στη μνήμη του ο μπαμπάς μου, που μου έμαθε αυτό το τραγούδι.

Στη μνήμη του ο μπαμπάς μου, που μου έμαθε αυτό το τραγούδι. Τραγούδησε ενώ αυτός μας οδήγησε να δείχνει κούκλα, αντίκες δείχνει, παζαριών, πωλήσεις γκαράζ, εκκλησία τις πωλήσεις ψαξίματος, πωλήσεις ακινήτων, πωλήσεις ναυπηγείων, καταστήματα με σουβενίρ, δημοπρασίες και περισσότερα μέρη για να βρείτε την κούκλα και θησαυρούς. Οι έμποροι τον αποκαλούσε «ο άνθρωπος μέσα στο αυτοκίνητο.» Συνήθιζε να περιμένουν εκεί και να ακούτε NPR και Talk Radio, ή να διαβάσετε, ενώ πήγαμε μέσα να βρει τα πράγματα.

 

Ιδιόκτητη, παλια κορφών aworazo,

 

ΜΕΣ ΤΗΣ yitones γυρίζω,

Και παλιο αδερφέ ὅτι, pzonizo.

****************************************************************************

In memory of my Dad, who taught me this song.  He sang it while he drove us to doll shows, antique shows, flea markets, garages sales, church rummage sales, estate sales, yard sales, souvenir shops, auctions, and more places to find doll and treasures.  The dealers called him “the man in the car.”  He used to wait there and listen to NPR and Talk Radio, or read, while we went inside to find things.

 

I don’t think the translation is accurate, so here it is in phonetics.

 

“Ruha, palia paputsa aworazo,

 

Mes tis yitones gyrizo,

Ke oti bro palio, pzonizo.”
