Original Lyrics
Στα Βέρβενα στα Δολιανά
Στα Βέρβενα, στα Βέρβενα, στα Δολιανά, κυρά μου
γιεμ, και στον ωραίον τόπο, κει π’ αρέσει των ανθρώπων.
Εκεί ’ναι τα γλυκά κρασιά, κυρά μου
τα ωραία παλικάρια, κιτρολεμονιάς κλωνάρια.
Το πίνουν νιές, το πίνουν γριές, κυρά μου
το πίνουν παντρεμένες, χήρες κι αρρεβωνιασμένες.
Δε φταίνε το γλυκά κρασιά, κυρά μου
τα ωραία παλικάρια, κιτρολεμονιάς κλωνάρια.
Μον’ φταίνε οι Βερβενιώτισσες, κυρά μου
κι οι Βερβενιωτοπούλες, βάι πανάθεμα τες ούλες.
