Σο έναν τ' αναστέναγμα μ'

Original Lyrics

Σο έναν τ' αναστέναγμα μ'

Σο έναν τ’ αναστέναγμα μ’ – μικρόν αρνί μ’
τα χιόνια όλ(ι)α λύουν – ντο να (γ)ίνουμε
τα δάκρυα μ’ ξύουν1 στ’ άψιμον2 – μικρόν αρνί μ’
και τα τσιλίδια3 σβύουν – ντο να (γ)ίνουμε.

Τ’ αρνόπο μ’ κείται άρρωστον  –  ν’ αϊλί εμέ
κι εγώ σύρω τα πόνια4 – ντο να (γ)ίνουμε
Χριστέ μ’, κόψον και δος ατόν – ν’ αϊλί εμέ
τ’ εμά τ’ ημ’σά5 τα χρόνια – ντο να (γ)ίνουμε.

1 ξύνω: χύνω, πέφτω
2 άψιμον = φωτιά
3 τσιλίδια = κάρβουνα
4 τα πόνια= οι πόνοι
5 ημ’σά = μισά (από το αρχ. ήμισυ)
