Original Lyrics
Άσπρη λαμπάδα καίγεται
Άσπρη λαμπάδα καίγεται στους κάμπους και δε λειώνει
έτσ' αγαπά κι ο νιος τη νια και δε το φανερώνει.
Έτσι σ' αγάπησα και γω λαμπάδα μου γραμμένη
και σ' έχω πάντα στην καρδιά μικρή μου χαϊδεμένη.
Είσαι μικρή και όμορφη σαν ήλιος, σα φεγγάρι
παρακαλάω το Θεό να γίνουμε ζευγάρι.
