İki karpuz bir koltuğa sığmaz
Δείξε μου το φίλο σου να σου πω ποιος είσαι
Bana arkadaşını göster sana kim olduğunu söyleyeyim
Έχε τα πόδια σου ζεστά την κεφαλή σου κρύα
Ayağını sıcak tut başını serin
Με στραβό σαν κοιμηθείς το πρωί γκαβίζεις
Körle yatan şaşı kalkar
Ο τρελός είδε το μεθυσμένο και φοβήθηκε
Deli sarhoşu görünce çomağını saklar
Όποιος ανοίγει τον λάκκο του άλλου πέφτει ο ίδιος μέσα.

Όπου υπάρχει καπνός υπάρχει και φωτιά
Ateş olmayan yerden duman çıkmaz
Oτι σπείρεις θα θερίσεις
Ne ekersen, onu biçersin
Σκυλί που γαβγίζει μην το φοβάσαι
Havlayan köpek ısırmaz
Χωριό που φαίνεται κολαούζο δε θέλει
Görünen köy kılavuz istemez
