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.
