Original Lyrics

Γιούργια

Θέλησα να κάνω γιούργια
στην ποδιά σου την καινούργια.
Γιούργια, γιούργια, γιούργια στα παλιούργια.

Με τη μια και με την άλλη,
μου ζαλίσαν το κεφάλι.
Όπαλα, όπαλα, μου ’σπασες τα κόκαλα.

Θέλησα να κάνω νάζια
στην ποδιά σου τη γαλάζια.
Γιούργια, γιούργια στα βλάχικα τσαντούρια.
