Το Μάη θα βάλω ένα πανί

Original Lyrics
Το Μάη θα βάλω ένα πανί
Το Μάη, καλέ, το Μάη, το Μάη θα βάλω ένα πανί
το Μάη θα βάλω ένα πανί να μπω να το υφάνω,
να φκιά- καλέ, να φκιά- να φκιάσω τα προικάκια μου
να φκιάσω τα προικάκια μου, να παντρευτώ η καημένη.
Πήγαν με κατηγόρησαν εις τα πεθερικά μου
είπαν πως είμαι άσχημη, πως είμαι και τεμπέλα.
Εγώ τη ρόκα αγαπώ και το κρασί το πίνω,
πίνω δυο κούπες το πρωί και τρεις το μεσημέρι
και εις το ηλιοκάθισμα, στραγγίζω το βαρέλι.
