Ερηνάκι για την εμορφιά σου
τριγυρίζω μες τη γειτονιά σου
τραγουδώ πονώ και κλαίω
τον καημό μου και σου λέω
τραγουδώ πονώ και κλαίω
τον καημό μου και σου λέω
Ερηνάκι μου παρηγοριά μου
χάνουμαι για σε πονεί η καρδιά μου
δε μ' ακούς δε με λυπάσαι
ούτε και Θεό φοβάσαι
αχ σκληρή καρδιά δε με πονείς
τι σου κάνω και με τυραννείς
Έλα έλα Ερηνάκι να μου γειάνεις την καρδιά
που στον κόσμο μόνο εσένα έχω για παρηγοριά
που στον κόσμο μόνο εσένα έχω για παρηγοριά
Να μου δώσεις τα φιλιά σου που πολύ τα λαχταρώ
και τα έμμορφα σου κάλλη Ερηνάκι να χαρώ
και τα έμμορφα σου κάλλη Ερηνάκι να χαρώ

Erinaki (*little Erini), for your beauty
I wander through your neighborhood
I’m singing, I’m in pain and I’m crying
And I’m telling you my sorrow
I’m singing, I’m in pain and I’m crying
And I’m telling you my sorrow
My Erinaki, my solace
I’m fading, my heart aches for you
You don’t you hear me, you don’t feel pity for me
Not even God you fear
Ah cruel heart, don’t you care for me?
What am I doing to you that you torture me?
Come, come, Erinaki, to heal my heart
’Cause I only have you to comfort me in the world
’Cause I only have you to comfort me in the world
To give me your kisses that I desire so much
And to enjoy your beauty, Erinaki
And to enjoy your beauty, Erinaki
