Lyrics

Not available. Text in French follows:

Femme de Déropolis
eh, femme de Déropolis, toi qu'on jalouse,
Avec des cierges et des bougies, ma pauvre
Incline-toi aussi pour nous,…
Pour nous autres Chrétiens,…
Pour que les Turcs ne nous égorgent pas,…
Comme des agneaux de Pâques,…

Original Lyrics

Δεροπολίτισα

Μωρ' Δεροπολίτισα, μωρ' καημένη
ζη- μωρ' ζηλεμένη

σίντα πας στην εκκλησιά
με λαμπάδες με κεριά
και με μοσχοθυμιατά
για προσκύνα και για μας
και για μας τους χριστιανούς
μη μας σφάξει η τουρκιά
σαν τ' αρνιά τη Πασχαλιά
