Original Lyrics
Τ' αρνόπο μ'
Αρνόπο μ’ με το γέλος ισ’, έι πουλί μ’, ξαν’ αρνί μ’
χαράζ’νε τα ρασία κάτι κάτι λες τι δεν
ο φέγγον παίρ’ και βασιλεύ’, έι πουλί μ’, ξαν’ αρνί μ’
ξημερών κρύα κρύα έλα πουλί μ’ με τ’ εμέν.
Αρνόπο μ’ είσαι έμορφος ο φέγγον παν ομοιάει σε
κι εσέν που εσ’ τη σκύλ’ ο γιόν ας κάθεται κι οριάει σε.
Αρνόπο μ’ όντες πας σ’ ορμάν ν’ εφτάς το σιελεκόπο σ’
τα δέντρα κι ερωτούνε σε που εν’ τ’ άλλο τ’ εσιόπο σ’.
