Traditional Costumes of Thrace
The song is ΜΙΑ ΚΟΡΗ ΜΙΑ ΔΙΑΒΑΤΙΣΣΑ - 'Mia Kori mia diavatissa' - ('A Lass is Passing by'), taken from Guardians of Hellenism VOL 6 THRACE. The singer is famous Thracian Chronis Aidonidis (Χρόνης Αηδονίδης).
The areas of Thrace (Θράκη) shown in the video are: Xanthi (Ξάνθη), Rhodope (Ροδόπη) and Evros (Έβρου), which are in Greece. Kavakli is in Northern Thrace, which is in present day Bulgaria, and Makra Gefyra is in Eastern Thrace, which is in present day Turkey.
In Rhodopi, showcased are the Sarakatsani (Σαρακατσάνοι), the ancient shepherd tribe that has scattered all over Greece.
More on the song:
A Karsilamas from Western Thrace. The subject is common to many songs and is about the recognition of the woman by the husband.
Translation:
A lass, aman aman, a lass was passing by
A lass was passing by, a blue-eyed one,
When she goes in to weave, the trees and branches wither,
A passer by went by, the lass he greeted.
He greets her, she replies not, says not good day,
My lass, aman aman, my lass why don't you marry,
My lass why don't you marry and enjoy your youth,
And take a lad like a star, like the moon.
How can, aman aman, how can you tell me marry,
How can you tell me marry, when I have a husband,
A soldier, who has been gone, alas, these four years.
