Original Lyrics

Χορέψετε, χορέψετε

Τούτες οι μέρες το 'χουνε

Xορέψετε, χορέψετε, τα νιάτα να χαρείτε,
γιατί σε τούτο το ντουνιά δε θα τα ξαναβρεί

Δώστε του χορού να πάει,
τούτ’ η γης θα μας εφάει.

Όσοι έχουνε καλή καρδιά και ταχτικά γλεντούνε
μονάχα αυτοί τον ψεύτικο τον κόσμο θα χαρούνε.

Tούτ’ η γης που την πατούμε
όλοι μέσα θε να μπούμε.

Χορέψετε, χορέψετε παπούτσια μη λυπάστε,
μα κείνα ξεκουράζονται τη νύχτα που κοιμάστε.

Δώστε του χορού να πάει,
τούτ’ η γης θα μας εφάει.
