Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Δυο γυφτοπούλεσ στο βουνό
Μάνα και θυγατέρα δυο
Βότανα εμαζεύανε
Βρίσκουν 'να λαβωμένονε

Μάνα να τονε πάρουμε
Τον ξένο να τον γιάνουμε
Εμείσ ψωμί δεν έχουμε
Τον ξένο τι τον θέλουμε

Μάνα το κομματάκι μου
Χαλάλι στο ξενάκι μου
Εμείσ ρούχα δεν έχουμε
Τον ξένο τι τον θέλουμε

Μάνα το σεντονάκι μου
Χαλάλι στο ξενάκι μου




Μανούλα μου τον αγαπώ
Και ντρέπουμαι να σου το πω

They make a living by collecting herbs and plants in the mountains, but one day they come across a wounded stranger.
