Original Lyrics

Δίστιχα για την ελιά

Τούτην ιδώ την αγριλιά ιγώ θα τη μπουλιάσου,
να κάνει τον καλό καρπό τσουβάλια να σουδιάσω.

Του ραβδιστή να τουν διχάς στου δέντρου π’ ανιβαίνει
σένα μαζεύει τουν καρπό κι με η καρδιά μου δένει.

Ιλιά μου χρυσοπράσινη μι τ’ ασημένια φύλλα
να φίλαγα του ραβδιστή στα μάτια κι στα φρύδια.

Δεν έχ’ ιλιά χουρίς ξιράδ’ κι λάδι δίχους κόπου
τσι άνθρουπο χουρίς ψιγάδ’ πάνω σ’ αυτόν τουν τόπου.
