Original Lyrics

Στη Νιάουστα γλυκό κρασί

Στη Νιάουστα γλυκό κρασί, ωχ αμάν, γιαντίμ αμάν
Στη Βέργοια μαυρομάτες, καλέ
Άιντε ντε, ντε μπρε ντε, τράβα Λέγκω μ' το μπερντέ

Στο έρημο το Κόλιντρο, ωχ αμάν, καλέ συ μ', αμάν
Κοντούλες και γεμάτες, καλέ
Άιντε ντε, ντε μπρε ντε, τράβα Λέγκω μ' το μπερντέ

Σ' αγάπησα να 'χω ζωή, μα 'γω ζωή δεν έχω
Σαν κλήμα με κλαδεύουνε και κλαδεμό δεν έχω
Κλαίει το κλήμα ακλάδευτο, κλαίει και κλαδεμένο
Κλαίνε και τα ματάκια μου για σένα χαϊδεμένο.
