Original Lyrics

Μια γριά μπαμπόγρια

Μια γριά, τσικιρικιτρόμ, τρακατρούμ, τρακατρόμ,
μια γριά μπαμπόγρια λάχανα μαγείρευε.
’Κεί που τα μαγείρευε,
’κεί της ήρθε μια βοή
για να πάει να παντρευτεί.
Δίνει μια του τέντζερη
κι άλλη μια του καπακιού.
«Φάτε, κότες, λάχανα
και σεις, γάτες, τα ζουμιά,
γιατί εγώ θα παντρευτώ
και θα νοικοκυρευτώ».
