Karagouna

Ajde perase, ena kalokeri

ajde ke de mou, de moustiles hamberi.

Aj Gounam, aj Gounam

aj Gounam Karagounam.

Esena, su prepou,

metaksata sigounia

Ajde ti hambe, hamberi na su stilo,

ajde poupyases, pyases kenourio Ølo.

Am'posda, am'tida

tin prokopis tin ida.

Am'posda, am ti da

sto parathyri s'ida.

Ajde da pouli, pouliso ke ti stani,

ajde na soupa, souparo 'na foustani.

Aj Gounam, aj Gounam,

Esena, su prepou,Me taksu vazi vouna.

me taksata sigounia.

Aide, one summer has passed

and you haven't sent me any news.

Ai Gouna, ai Gouna,

my Karagouna,

you deserve

silken sigounia.(1)

Aide, what news shall I send you,

aide, now that you have a new lover?

Indeed, how now,

I saw purpose,

Indeed, how now,

I saw you in the window.

Aide, I will sell, I'll sell the flock of sheep,

aide, to buy, to buy you a skirt.

Aj Gouna, aj Gouna,

my Karagouna,

you deserve

silken sigounia.
