A week ago I received a letter from far away
It came from somewhere in that Greek country
My dear wife she sent Pepito on his way
A Bansku boy straight from Spain
Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
Why did you go, Elli, to the dark man's ship
Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
Elli I miss you so much
Jäisen's knife hit her right in the heart go
I guess I'll throw all my dreams in the trash
You pannahin banskut you took my eukko jemma
Now I'll have to settle for my neighbor Emma
Oh Elli, Elli, Elli, I miss you
I can't Elli, I don't comb my hair anymore
My head is hammered by a thousand wet barley socks
My cheeks are like hay , my brain is decaying
Oh why not, Elli-sweet you come to me
Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
