El Dio la mate esta Grega
[May God kill the Greek woman]
See lecture: Sephardic Food
El Dió la mate esta Grega | May God kill the Greek woman |
Que quemó la merendjena, | Who burned the eggplant. |
Mos quemó al Selanik, | She burned down Thessaloni |
Mos desho prove y yanik. | And left us poor and charred. |
