Αντώνης Νταλκάς - Μπάλος Ματζόρε μανές

Στίχοι

Όποιος δεν είναι μερακλής πρέπει για αν πεθάνει,
γιατί στον κόσμο τούτονε μόνον τον τόπο πιάνει.

Εσύ είσαι ένας ήλιος, φεγγάρι λαμπερό,
που θάμπωσες το φως μου και δεν μπορώ να δω.

-Όπα, όπα! Ωχ, ωχ, ωχ, ωχ! (φωνή Νταλγκά)
-Να μου ζήσεις, κουμάπαρα! 'Ξω φτώχεια! (φωνή Νταλγκά)
