Zero Street

--Ah, ah, ah, little bird

what are you looking for in Hermes Street?

--I have lost Beatrice,

perhaps she’s looking for a new hat with feathers.

--Ah, ah, ah, little bird

what are you looking for in Zero Street?

--Tomorrow Beatrice swears her oath

she’s the first citizen of Makryiannistan.

The brave lad of the sky

appeared in the lanes

He holds thunderbolts in one hand

And sighs in the other

The brave lad, the brave lad

He’ll come at nine in the evening

Christ and the Virgin help him.

--Ah, ah, ah, little bird

what are you looking for in Why Street?

--There is no Beatrice

if there were, you would never have seen me.
