Original Lyrics
Χελιδόνισμα
Χελιδόνα έρχεται
απ’ τη Mαύρη θάλασσα
θάλασσα ν-απέρασε
έκατσε και λάλησε.
Mώρ’ καλή νοικοκυρά
σέβα, έβγα στο κελάρι
φέρε αυγά σαρακοστιά
και σκοινιά πεντηκοστά
για να δέσομε το Mάρτη
και το τσιλιμπουρδάκι
κι αν δεν έχετε αυγά
παίρνομε την κλωσσαριά
να γεννάει, να κλωσάει
και να σέρνει τα πουλιά.
