TRANSLATION:

Now that you're going away
take with you as an amulet
some myrtle and some oleander
and the suffering of Frangoyiannou*

And pave your life
With sleeplessmess and pining
For the frost of time**
And for your reward
Water of the Paradise***
I will become

Now that you're going away
Take Christ with you

* Heroine of Alexander Papadiamandis' book "Η Φόνισσα" (1903)
** This line can be translated in many different ways, depending on the intended meaning.
*** Holy water / Water of eternal life
