Original Lyrics
Ο πεύκος
Εμπρός μας τον, εμπρός μας τον εβάλαμε
τον πεύκο με τους κλώνους, μορφονοικοκυρά,
να τονε βλέ- να τονε βλέπει η Παναγιά
και να του δίνει χρόνους, μορφονοικοκυρά.
Αβάντι χωραφάκι μου μην απομένεις πίσω
και γω με την παρέα μου ήρτα να σε θερίσω.
Αβάντι να θερίσομε τ’ αρχόντου το λιβάδι
απ’ το πρωί θερίζομε και πλάκωσε το βράδυ.
Στην άκραν του, του χωραφιού θα πα ν’ αποκουμπίσω
οπού ’χει δεντρολίβανα να κόψω να μυρίσω.
