'Στόν πύργο κόρη κάθεται με δεκαπέντε σκλάβαις,
    Κι' όλο αρμαθιάζει τα φλουριά και τα μαργαριτάρια.
    Αρμάθιαζε, ξαρμάθιαζε τα κρέμαε 'ςτο λαιμό της,
    'Στά παραθύρια ξέβγαινε και γλυκοτραγουδούσε.
    Ξανοίγει γλήγορο άλογο 'ςτήν άκρη από τον κάμπο.
    Γλυστράει 'ςτό χιόνι το στρωτό, σαν η αστραπή 'ςτά νέφια,
    Κ' ένα ψηλό χλημίντρισμα βολαίς-βολαίς ξεχύνει.
    Περνάει τον κάμπο, κ' έρχεται 'ςτής ποταμιάς τα δέντρα.
    Φαίνεται μαύρο τ' άλογο και νηός ο καββαλλάρης,
    Διαβαίνει και την ποταμιά και ρίχνεται 'ςτόν πύργο.
    Ακούγεται το χνώτο του και η ποδοβολή του…
    'Στό δάσος το χιονόστρωτο πούνε μπροστά απ' τον πύργο
    Μπαίνει σαν φείδι και περνά, και σταματά 'ςτήν πόρτα.

Η κόρη απ' τα παράθυρα τρανή φωνή πετάει:

    — Σκλάβαις και παρασκλάβαις μου!… 'ςτήν πόρτα κατεβάτε,
    Εσείς πάρετε τ' άλογο κ' εγώ τον καββαλλάρη!

Αι ΛΥΓΕΡΑΙΣ ΤΗΣ ΞΕΝΗΤΕΙΑΣ
      κ. Γ. Δ. Ζαχρήστω.

    — Στρώστε, κορίτσια, το χορό, στρώστε και το τραγούδι
    Γιατ' είμαι ξένος και θα ιδώ να πάω να μολογήσω.
    Έμπα, Μαρούσω γαλανή, και πιάσου πρώτη-πρώτη,
    Και τράβα το λεβέντικο 'ςτού Νάκα το τραγούδι.
    Πάρε συ Λένη το Σταθά, συ Βάγγιω το Μηλιώνη,
    Η κλειστοφρύδω η Αναστασιά το Γέρω-Πάλλα ας πάρη·
    Η Φωτεινή τα Σάλωνα, την Ποταμιά η Φροσύνη,
    Η ώμορφ' η Βασιλική το Μάλωμα του Ολύμπου.
    Και συ Παναγιωτούλα μου, ξανθή και μαυρομμάτα,
    Πάρε το πόδι τ' αλαφιού, του λουλουδιού τη χάρι.
    Πάρε το μάτι του αητού και τ' αηδονιού το στόμα.
    Και πιάσου τράβα το συρτό, και πες ένα τραγούδι,
    Τραγούδι με παράπονο, της ξενητειάς τραγούδι.
    Και μπαίν' η κόρη 'ςτό χορό και τραγουδάει και λέει:

    — Σ' εχάρηκεν η ξενητειά δώδεκα ακέρηα χρόνια,…
    Τώρα να φύγης ξένε μου, 'ςτό τόπο σου να 'πάγης.
    Άλλοι σε καρτερούν εκεί· τώμορφο το χωριό σου.
    Οι γκαρδιακοί οι φίλοι σου, οι γέροι οι γονιοί σου,
    Σε καρτερεί τόσον καιρό κ' η δόλια σου αγάπη.
    Κ' εκεί σαν πας, μη λησμονάς να 'μολογήσης, ξένε,
    Που αν το ψωμί της ξενητειάς είνε πικρό φαρμάκι,
    Είν' τα κορίτσια της γλυκά και το φιλί τους μέλι.
    Κ' εκεί που σέρνουν το χορό περνούν από μπροστά του.
    Και τον φιλούν αραδαριά 'ςτά χείλη τα πικρά του.

ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙΑ ΔΙΣΤΙΧΑ

    Εγώ για εσένα τραγουδώ και λες δε σ' αγαπάω,
    Και λες με τα τραγούδια μου πως τον καιρό περνάω;

    Νάξερα μάγια νάκαμνα τη γνώμη να σ' αλλάξω,
    Γιατί μ' αυτήν την γνώμη σου με κάμνεις να πλαντάξω.

    Ανάθεμα τα μάτια μου πώς είνε μαθημένα,
    Σαν δε σε βλέπουνε συχνά να κλαίνε τα καϋμένα.

    Όλα τα μάτια είνε στεγνά και τα δικά μου κλαίνε,
    Φωτιά 'ςτά στήθηα μ' άναψαν και την καρδιά μου καίνε,

    Φωτιά τρώει το σίδερο και σάρακας το ξύλο,
    Και συ μου τρως τα νειάτα μου, σαν άρρωστος το μήλο.

    Στους κάμπους αναστέναξα κ' είπα δυο τραγουδάκια,
    Κι όλα τα δένδρα εμάρανα κι' όλα τα λουλουδάκια.

    Νυχτόημερα του ποταμού τα ρέμματα ρωτάω,
    Μην είδαν σε καμμιά μεριά εκείνη που αγαπάω.

    Αγάλια αγάλια περπατώ και σαν αναστενάζω,
    Πώς δε ραγίζουν τα βουνά μονάχος μου θαυμάζω.

    Πέφτω με χίλια ονείρατα και σαν ξυπνάω, αλλοιά μου!
    Βλέπω μονάχα γύρα μου τη μαύρη ξενητειά μου.

    Με ρώτησεν ο ουρανός για ποιάν αναστενάζω,
    — Γι' αυτήν που σώχει τόνομα, με πόνο του φωνάζω.

    'Σάν βγαίνει ο ήλιος την αυγήν μαραίνει τα χορτάρια,
    'Σάν βγαίνει κ' αγάπη μου μαραίνει παλληκάρια.

    Ήθελα νάμουνα πουλί, να στήσω τη φωληά μου,
    Μέσ' 'ςτής αυλής σου το δενδρί ν' ακούης τη λαλιά μου.

    Μακρυά μαλλάκια θέλω εγώ και μάτια θέλω μαύρα,
    Που απ' όξω είν' κάρβουνα σβυστά και μέσα έχουν τη λαύρα.

    Κι' αν πάρω δίπλα τα βουνά και με τ' αγρίμια αν ζήσω,
    Τον εδικό σου τον καϋμό δε θα τον λησμονήσω,

    Έλα να πάμ' εκεί που λες, που ισκιώνουνε πλατάνια,
    Και τρέχουν λαγαρά νερά, να βάλουμε στεφάνια.

    Βολαίς βολαίς μεσάνυχτα ξυπνάω με λαχτάρα.
    Και 'ςτήν πικρή την ξενητειά ρίχνω βαριά κατάρα.

    Όποιος μ' ακούει να τραγουδώ, λέει πώς δεν έχω πόνο,
    Κ' εγώ με τα τραγούδια μου τον πόνο ξαλαφρόνω.

Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.

Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given away—you may do practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

*** START: FULL LICENSE ***

THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK

To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work (or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at https://www.gutenberg.org/license).

Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works

1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property (trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.

1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg-tm License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided that

- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."

- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm works.

- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of receipt of the work.

- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
