Modern Greek:Σού στέλνω αυτό, Ροδόκλεια, τό στεφάνι, μ’ ωραία λουλούδια ο ίδιος τό ’χω πλέξει. Είν’ από κρίνα καί μπουμπούκια ρόδου καί δροσερή ανεμώνα, κι έχει ακόμα καί νάρκισσο τό λυγερό καί τέλος βιολέττα μέ γαλάζιο σκούρο χρώμα• Μ’ αυτά στολίσου κι άλλο μή καυχιέσαι. Τι ανθείς τώρα κι εσύ καί τό στεφάνι αλλά κι εσύ κι αυτό θά μαραθείτε.
