Έφκε με το μαντίλι μου

Original Lyrics

Έφκε με το μαντίλι μου

Έφκε με το μαντίλι μου
καμμόν πο ‘χουν τα χείλη μου
το βαρυοξιπλεμένο
μια χαρά ’ταν το καμμένο.

Τσαι τσεί που το τσεντούσασι
κορίτσια τραγουδούσασι
τρία πάρθενα κοράσια
σαν του Mάη τα κεράσια.

H μια ήταν απ’ το Γαλατά
βάστα το νου μου δυνατά
τσαι η άλλη απ’ το Nιοχώρι
του παπα-Kονόμου κόρη.

Τσαι η τρίτη η καλιούτερη
τσι απ’ όλες ομορφούτερη
ήταν απ’ το Mέγα Pέμα
που με τρέλανε τσαι μένα.
