We have such good girls   O you beautiful girl   I am in love with you   We have such good girls   But without money   The girls of Kapohori have money   The girls of Malisiota area are good   Sing Arvanit   Not to forget your language   Who sings Arvanit   Makes the beautiful girls like him   Arvanit (language) you need to know   In order to sing oh Maria   An old lady here nearby   Has a beautiful daughter   I asked for her, but they didn’t give me   Let us meet and have a meal together I want to say you girl I want to say some words   Why don’t you put flowers on your apron
