Αμάν γκελ αμάν

Original Lyrics

Αμάν γκελ αμάν

Της τριανταφυλλιάς τα φύλλα

Tης τριανταφυλλιάς τα φύλλα θα τα κάνω φορεσιά,
να τα βάλω να περάσω, να σου κάψω την καρδιά.

Σένα τα λέγω κι άκου τα,
πάρε χαρτί και γράψε τα.

Aπεφάσισα πουλί μου, απεφάσισε και συ,
δυο καρδιές να γίνουν ένα, ένα σώμα μια ψυχή.

Σένα τα δίνω τα φλουριά,
μαύρα μου μάτια και γλυκά.
