Lyrics in Pontic Greek :
Ναϊλί εμάς και βάι εμάς, πάρθεν η Ρωμανία !
Επέραν το βασίλοσκαμ' και έλαεν αφεντιά.
Μοιρολογούν τα εκκλησιάς, κλαίγνε τα μοναστήρια.
Kι ο Γιάννες ο Χρυσόστομον κλαίει, δερνοκοπιέται.
Μη κλαίς, μη κλαίς Αϊ-Γιάννε μου, και δερνοκοπισκάσαι.
Η Ρωμανία πέρασε, η Ρωμανία ‘πάρθεν.
Η Ρωμανία κι αν πέρασεν, ανθεί και φέρει κι άλλο.
