Original Lyrics
Τίνος είν' η κούπα
Τίνος είν’ η κούπα η μονομπασιά
του καπετάν Νικόλα, του μπέη, του πασά.
Πιε την γιε μου, πιε την και ξαναγεμισέ την
να βρεις τον γείτονά σου τον Μανόλη που ’ν’ κοντά σου.
Ας την ανεβάσουμε στα επουράνια
κι ας την κατεβάσουμε στα καταχθόνια.
Δώσ' της μια να πάει κάτω
για να βρει η κορφή τον πάτο.
