Original Lyrics
Έλα Παναγιά μου σώσε
Έλα Πα- έλα Πά- έλα Παναγιά μου σώσε
έλα Παναγιά μου σώσε, νουν και λογισμόν μου δώσε.
Νουν και λογισμόν και γνώση
και γλυκιά φωνή καμπόση.
Να παινέσω την κυρά μας
και τη χρυσοπέρτικά μας.
Νύφη από δεντρί διαμάντι
που ’ναι οι κλώνοι σου πριλάντι.
Που ’χει τα μαλλιά μετάξι
και πλεγμένα με την τάξη.
