Original Lyrics
Γενήκαν τα γεννήματα
Γενή- μωρέ, γενήκαν τα γεννήματα
γιεμ, και μπαίνομε στο θέρο, πες μ’ αγάπη μ’ τι να γένω.
Παίρνω, μωρέ, παίρνω το δρεπανάκι μου
γιεμ, και πάω να θερίσω, μαύρα μάτια ν’ αγαπήσω.
Παίρνω τον έργο σαν πλατύ σαν πλατύ και σα μεγάλο,
πες μ’ αγάπη μ’ τι να κάνω.
Βρίσκω τα στάρια αγίνωτα, τα κορίτσια φιλημένα,
γραψ’ αλίμονο σε μένα.
