The mountain dwellers of Chania It is Cretan stone Gold that glitters And if you chisel it with love It is gemstones that you fashion Admired by the heavens And coveted by the sea For which the winds open roads In order to admire them One household, they become For people to dwell in To make their saintly bread Wine and wheels of cheese Oil and honey, envied so For a taste of the eternal Boots to tread the earth And stride across the fields Jars and fabrics made Lutes and davul drums And when in the yard they sit It is the stranger they invite To eat and drink And cool their brow To listen to the lyre To learn how in Crete they say… To welcome with your soul
