Original Lyrics
Περ'μένω σε
Περ’μένω σε, περ’μένω σε, πουρνόν, μεσημέρ’, βράδον,
εσύ πουθέν κι φαίνεσαι, ας παίρ’ την ψυμ’ ο χάρον.
Aμόν ήλες εφάνθες με κι αμόν αϊτός εδέβες
κι ους να εκαλοτέρεσα ρασία επιδέβες.
Περ’μένω σε και έρχεσαι ξέν’ είναι που περνούνε,
έλα κι ας λάμπ'νε τα ρασιά, τ’ ομάλια ας γελούνε.
