*The mantinada is a poem consisting of two verses that are usually fifteen syllables in rhyme or four half-verses that do not necessarily rhyme.

“Bαρέθηκα τη νότη μου
θέλο να τη πολήσω
θελο να βρο μια μερακλού
να μην την χαραμήσω”

I want to sell it
I want to find a meraklou (woman who enjoys life)
as not to waste it further”
