Original Lyrics
Δίστιχα για το ρακί
Άχι, και να ’χα μια ρακή και τέσσερα στραγάλια
να δείτε πως θα τραγουδώ με δίχως παρακάλια.
Θωρείς εκείνη τη ρακή α-που ’ναι στο ποτήρι
ήμουνε και του λόγου μου μέσα στο πατητήρι.
Πίνω ρακή δε με μεθεί, αν πιω και δυο κανάτες
ως με μεθούν οι κοπελιές οι γαϊτανοφρυδάτες.
Τη μάνα σου τη μάγισσα ρακή θα την ποτίσω
να πέσει ν’ αποκοιμηθεί, να μπω να σε φιλήσω.
