Original Lyrics
Βεντέμας
Άμα ξεβεντεμίσομε και πλύνω τα κοφίνια
θα πάρω την αγάπη μου να πάμε στην Αθήνα.
Έλα κοντά κοντούλα μου
να γιάνεις την καρδούλα μου.
Κάμε πουλί μ’ υπομονή κι’ ηυρήκα τον κουμπάρο
κι άμα ξεβεντεμίσομε θε να ’ρθω να σε πάρω.
Έχω δυο μέρες να σε δω
κι κόντεψα να τρελαθώ.
Τώρα που βεντεμίσαμε θα πάμε και θα πιούμε
και του καλού τ’ αφεντικού, τραγούδια θα του πούμε.
Κάμε λιγάκι υπομονή
και το στεφάνι δεν αργεί.
