Lyrics (For English scroll down)
Βρε μη φοβηθείς τον άνθρωπο, Λούλα μου, Μαρικούλα μου
ωρέ όσο θεριό και να΄ναι λέλε ναι κουρμπάν
Ωρέ και να μασά τα σίδερα, Λούλα μου, ωρέ Λούλα μου,
Ωρέ και να τα καταπίνει, λελε ναι Κουρμπάν

Άιντε, άιντε, Μπάρμπα Γιαννακάκη
Που΄ναι, που΄ναι, πουν το Μαρικάκι
Ψαράκια τηγανίζει μεσ΄το μαγεριό,
Εγώ θα σου το πάρω και θα το παντρευτώ
Αχ Γιαννάκη Μπιρ όκα άλτα γκέλ γιαρίμ οκά

Ωρε αυτόν τον βλάμη π΄ αγαπάς, Λούλα μου, κορούλα μου,
ωρε πες του να μεταλάβει ναι λελε κουρμπάν,
ωρέ μια Κεριακή ξημέρωμα, Λούλα μου, μανούλα μου,
ωρε δύο πιστολιές θα λάβει,ναι λελε Κουρμπάν

Hey do not fear that man, my Loula, my little Mary
Much as they say he is big, lele nai kurban**
Much as he might be tough enough to eat iron, my Loula,
and he swallows it, lele nai Kurban

Ajde, ajde*, uncle Little John
Where is little Mary
She is frying baby fish in the kitchen
I will take her away from you and marry her
ah, Littlejohn, an oka, take an oka or a half and come over

That guy you love, my Loula, my little girl
Tell him to go receive Holy Communion, nai lele kurban
One Sunday morning, my Loula, my darling
Two bullets he will receive, nai lele kurban
