Original Lyrics

Σε δυο βουνά ανάμεσα

Σι δυο βουνά ανάμεσα, μπιρμπιλουμαυρουμάτισα
κλήμα ήταν φυτρουμένο, άιντε μουρή ν-αρβανιτοπούλα.

Κάνει σταφύλι ραζακί κι του κρασί τ’ μουσχάτου
του πίνουν άντρεις δε μιθούν, μάνις πιδιά δεν κάνουν.
Να το ’πινι κι η μάνα μου, να μη είχι καν’ κι μένα.
Κι αν μ’ ίκανι, τι μ’ ήθιλι, κι μ’ έδουσι στα ξένα.
