Original Lyrics
Σμυρναίικος μπάλος
Kαλέ δε με λυπάσαι δε μ’ ασπλαχνίζεσαι
που χάνομαι γισ σένα και συ στολίζεσαι.
Έλα να σε φιλήσω και γρήγορα να πας
να μη μας δουν γειτόνοι και πουν πως μ’ αγαπάς.

Ballos is a typical dance for two which is danced by all the Greeks living on the islands in the Aegean Sea and Ionia, i.e. the coast ο Asia Minor. The pairs dance facing each other in 2/4 time. The girl rests her hands on her hip while the man holds his arms high and dances round her in ‘courting’ movements. Ballos is a love dance.
