Original Lyrics

Μια αυγούλα, Σταυρούλα

Μια αυγούλα, Σταυρούλα, θε να σηκωθώ,
μια αυγούλα θε να σηκωθώ, να μπω σε περιβόλι,
να μπω σε περιβόλι,

να κό- λέει, να κόψω μήλο της μηλιάς,
να κόψω μήλο της μηλιάς, κυδώνι της αγάπης,
κυδώνι της αγάπης.

Να κόψω κι ένα λιόφυλλο να παίζω το γιογκάρι.
Γιογκάρι μου περήφανο για δε βαρείς γιομάτα;
Για σφίξ’ τα τέλια δυνατά και βάρα με γιομάτα
μήπως και την πλανέψουμε αυτήν την μαυρομάτα.
