Ξενιτεμένο μου πουλί

Listen

Original Lyrics

Ξενιτεμένο μου πουλί

Άιντε, ξενιτεμένο μου πουλί, γιάλα, γράφε μου να μαθαίνω
αν έχεις την υγεία σου, γιάλα, και γω καταλαβαίνω.

Έλα με, έλα με τον ταχυδρόμο
που ’ναι γρή- που ’ναι γρήγορος στο δρόμο.

Η ξενιτιά που σε κρατά μέσα στην αγκαλιά της
να σου χαρίζει την υγειά και όλα τα καλά της.

Έλα, έλα σαν σου λέγω
μη με τυραννείς και κλαίγω.

Στη ξενιτιά που βρίσκεσαι ο νους μου είναι σιμά σου
κι από τα χείλη μου ποτέ δε λείπει τ’ όνομά σου.

Έλα, έλα με τα μένα
κι άσ’ τη μάνα που σε γέννα.
