    I need to hear the song first, but I suppose you're talking about Μαριώ (Marió, not Mário). Yes, it's a woman.

    Okay, found it. Yes, it's her alright. Let's see...

    Πειραιώτισσα

    Απ' την ώρα στο λιμάνι, που σε μπάνισα
    Την καρδούλα μου, κυρά μου, την αφάνισα

    Σαν και σένα άλλη γυναίκα δεν εγνώρισα
    Στην αγάπη πιό πλανεύτρα και πιό γόησσα

    Πειραιώτισσα, το έχεις μες στο αίμα σου
    Να πλανεύονται οι άντρες μ' ένα βλέμμα σου

    ***

    Pireotissa

    Ap' tin ora sto limani, pou se banisa
    Tin kardoula mou, kira mou, tin afanisa

    San ke sena alli gineka den egnorisa
    Stin agapi pio planeftra ke pio goissa

    Pireotissa, to ehis mes sto ema sou
    Na planevonde i andres m' ena vlemma sou

    If I'm not mistaken, this song is originally sung by Sotiria Bellou and Stellakis Perpiniadis.
