a ballad of erotic passion
bursting from a heart on fire
or a deeply charged lament
for the loss of one’s beloved
A ballad ⋮ beloved.
Georgios Fedros, describing a “manéros” in his academic treatise “On the Smyrnean Amanés” (1881).
ἆσμα ἐκφράζον πάθος
ἐξ ἔρωτος φλεγομένης καρδίας
ἢ βαρεῖαν λύπην
ἐπὶ ἀπωλεία προσφιλοῦς ὄντος
