about

‘Gel burda’: Turkish for ‘come (it’s) here’.
This song is a play on words of various origins used by both Greek and Turkish Cypriots in their respective dialects.

lyrics

(English translation below)
Γκελ μπουρντά
Μουσική / Κύρια φωνή: Αντώνης Αντωνίου
Στίχοι: Μάριος Επαμεινώνδας
Φιλική συμμετοχή στα φωνητικά: Θανάσης Παπακωνσταντίνου

Ππελάφιν, ππαντζάριν, τασιή, μανιτάριν
Γελέρμασιν γιαχνιστόν, πόλικον μαϊτανόν
Τσακμάτζιν, μαγκάλλιν, τταβάνιν, τουμάνιν
Χαλλούμιν, πριζόλα, παττίχα, ραφκιόλα
Ζιβάνα, ττουλούμιν, φεντζάνια καφέ, άκκιπέττιν ναργιλέ

Πελάες, ραχάθκια, μαράζια, γινάθκια
Αμανές, καρτζιλαμάς, νάζιν, κκέφιν, σαματάς
Χαττίρκα, χαπάρκα, σορόπκια, μεράκκια
Ταούλια, ζορνέδες, παξές, μενεξέδες
Παντζούρκα, σοκκάτζια, καντζελλι’ ανοιχτά, γλέντιν μες τον μαχαλλάν

Λεβέντες, σακκάτες, μαστόροι, αρκάτες
Ππιντής, ατζαμής, φουκκαράς, ππασιάς, μερακλής, χουβαρτάς
Τσιαττάλια, τζεμπέρκα, φουστάνια, γελέκκα
Στετέ τζαι αγγόνιν, τσιατίριν, παρκόνιν
Γκελ μπουρά κουνουσμά, γλέντιν μες τον μαχαλλάν

Γκελ μπουρά, γκελ μπουραγιά, γλέντιν μες στον μαχαλλάν
Γκελ μπουρά, γκελ μπουρντά, γλέντιν μες στον μαχαλλάν

============================
Gel burda
Music / Main voice: Antonis Antoniou
Lyrics: Marios Epaminondas
Featuring Thanasis Papakonstantinou on backing vocals

Pilaff, beetroot, tahini, mushroom
Sweet potato in tomato sauce, lots of parsley
Lighter, barbecue, ceiling, smoke
Halloumi, chop, watermelon, ravioli
Zivania, leather bottle, coffee cups, finally hookah

Troubles, comfort, sadness, stubborness
Lamenting song, dancing facing one another, coyness, pleasure, hubbub
One’s sake, news, syrup, keenness
Davul, zurna, garden, violets Window shutters, streets, open gates, fun in the neighbourhood

Bold men, crippled men, masters, workers
Stingy, clumsy, wretched, rich, keen, generous ones
Trousers, headscarves, tents, balconies
Come here, (let’s) talk to each other,
(join the) festivity in the neighbourhood

Come here, come here, (join the) festivity in the neighbourhood
Come here, come it’s here,(join the) festivity in the neighbourhood
