Apano Stin Triandafillia (Απάνω Στην Τριανταφυλλιά - often referred shortly Apano Stin) means is “Upon the rose bush”. As many of Greek and other folksongs (Dimotika - Δημοτικά) is about feeling of love symbolized by the nature.

English lyrics

On the rose bush1

On the -my black eyes-
On the rose bush
The partridge builds a nest

The pa -my black eyes-
The partridge builds a nest
The birds go in and out

They go in -my black eyes-
They go in and out
And the rose bush

And the -my black eyes-
And the rose bush shakes
And the roses fall

And the -my black eyes-
And the roses fall
On the bride’s apron

And the roses fall on the bride’s apron.

Short version:
On the rose bush
The partridge builds a nest
The birds go in and out
And the rose bush shakes
And the roses fall
On the bride’s apron.

Greek lyrics

Απάνω στην τριανταφυλλιά

Απάνω στη μαύρα μου μάτια
απάνω στην τριανταφυλλιά
χτίζειν η πέρδικα φωλιά

Χτίζειν η πέ μαύρα μου μάτια
χτίζειν η πέρδικα φωλιά
σιμπαινοβγαίνουν τα πουλιά

σιμπαινοβγαι μαύρα μου μάτια
σιμπαινοβγαίνουν τα πουλιά
και σιέται η τριανταφυλλιά

Και σιέται η μαύρα μου μάτια
και σιέται η τριανταφυλλιά
και πέφτουν τα τριαντάφυλλα

Και πέφτουν τα μαύρα μου μάτια
και πέφτουν τα τριαντάφυλλα
μέσα στης νύφης την ποδιά
