Αχ κόρη φεγγαροπρόσωπη, του ήλιου θυγατέρα
(αμάν - αμάν, αμάν, αμάν, αμανέ)
αχ συ μ' έκανες κι αρνήθηκα και μάνα και πατέρα
(αμάν-αμάν, αμάν, αμάν, αχ για σένανε)
Αχ σύρε να πεις της μάνας σου να κάνει κι άλλη γέννα
(αμάν - αμάν, αμάν, αμάν, αμανέ)
άντε να κάψει κι αλλωνών καρδιές, πως έκαψε κι εμένα
(αμάν-αμάν, αμάν, αμάν, αχ για σένανε)
Αχ! μαύρα μάτια που ’χεις κόρη
φαίνεσαι είσαι απ' το Ζαγόρι
Ωχ! μαύρα μάτια στο ποτήρι
μωρέ γαλανά στο παραθύρι
Ωχ! βάλ’ το φερεντζέ κατσούλα
κι έλα από την πορτοπούλα
Μώρε ν-έρχομαι το φράχτη - φράχτη
βάσανα που ’χεις αγάπη

Oh, little moon-faced girl, daughter of the sun
(Oh, alas, a cry from the heart)
Oh, it’s because of you that I denied my mother and father
(Alas, alas, oh, all this for you)
Oh, go tell your mother to give birth to another daughter
(Oh, alas, a cry from the heart)
Who will burn the hearts of other men, like you burnt mine
(Alas, alas, oh, all this for you)
Ah, your eyes are so black, girl
Seems like you come from Zagori
Oh, black eyes in the drinking glass
But, oh, blue ones at the window
Oh, put your headscarf over your head
And come to the gate
Baby, I am coming hedge by hedge
The tribulations love has!
