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 filo.
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,
Aj Gounam Karagounam.
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
A silken embroidered vest.
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
A silken embroidered vest.
