about

Big credit to Dan Wilson who completely transformed this song with his fresh and exciting arrangement for string quartet. This one was originally titled "She's Isn't Very Beautiful," from the first line of the chorus, but they soon wisely changed it to "Who Is She Whom You Love?"

lyrics

Ποιά ειν’αυτή που αγαπάς
Του λεν’ πολλοί
Ποιά ειν’αυτή που σ’έχει ξελογιάσει
Τόσο γλυκό είναι κάθε της φιλι
Που τρέμει όλο η καρδιά σου
Μη την χάσει
Έχει παλάτια, έχει πλούτοι, ομορφιές
Όλοι μιλούν γι αυτήν όταν περνάει
Χτυπήσανε γι αυτή πολλές καρδιές
Κι αυτός που αγάπησε πολύ
Την αγαπάει

Δεν είναι όμορφη πολύ
Δεν έχει πλούτη και παλάτια
Μα οταν γελουν τα δυο τη ματια
Μεθά το κάθε της φιλί
Για μένα απ΄όλες ξεχωρίζει
Την ευτυχία μου χαρίζει
Χωρίς ψευτιές, χωρίς σκοπό
Γι αυτό τρελά την αγαπώ

Μπορεί πολλοί να τον γελόυν
Που την ποθεί
Που την κοιτά μ’αγάπη και λατρεία
Μα στην πεζή μας όμως εποχή
Μόνο τα πλούτη έχουν πέραση κι αξία
Μα δεν τον νοιάζει για τον κόσμο τι θα πει
Περιφρονά το παν για μιά ματιά της
Γι αυτό και τραγουδά όπου βρεθεί
Σαν τον ρωτούν γιατί μεθά
Τους απαντάει

Δεν είναι όμορφη πολύ
Δεν έχει πλούτη και παλάτια
Μα οταν γελουν τα δυο τη ματια
Μεθά το κάθε της φιλί
Για μένα απ΄όλες ξεχωρίζει
Την ευτυχία μου χαρίζει
Χωρίς ψευτιές, χωρίς σκοπό
Γι αυτό τρελά την αγαπώ

Translation:

Who is she whom you love
Many tell him
Who is she who has deceived you
Her every kiss is so sweet
That your heart quivers
At the thought of losing her
She has palaces, riches, beauty
Everyone speaks about her when she passes
Many hearts have beaten for her
And he who’s loved so much
Loves her

She isn’t very beautiful
She doesn’t have riches and palaces
But when her two eyes smile
Her kiss intoxicates me
For me she stands out from all the others
She gives me joy
Without lies or motives
That’s why I love her madly

Many might mock him
For desiring her
For looking at her with love and adoration
But here in our pedestrian age
Only wealth has appeal and worth
But he doesn’t care what the people will say
He shuns all for her gaze
That’s why he sings wherever he is
And when they ask him why he gets drunk
He says

She isn’t very beautiful
She doesn’t have riches and palaces
For me she stands out from all the others
She gives me joy
Without lies or motives
That’s why I love her madly
