Original Lyrics
Κάτω στο γιαλό
Κάτω στο γιαλό, κάτω στο περιγιάλι
κάτω στο γιαλό κοντή, νεραντζούλα φουντωτή,
πλέναν Χιώτισσες, πλέναν παπαδοπούλες.
και μια Χιώτισσα κοντή, νεραντζούλα φουντωτή,
έπλενε άπλωνε και με την άμμο παίζει.
Φύσηξε βοριάς μαΐστρος τραμουντάνα
και της σήκωσε το ποδοφούστανό της
και της φάνηκε ο ποδαστράγαλός της.
έλαμψε ο γιαλός.
