Original Lyrics

Στης ακρίβειας τον καιρό

Στης ακρίβειας τον καιρό επαντρεύτηκα και γω
και μου δώσαν μια γυναίκα που ’τρωγε για πέντε δέκα.
Πρώτο βράδυ που την πήρα έφαγε μια προβατίνα
και το δεύτερο το βράδυ προβατίνα και γελάδι.
- Βρε γυναίκα ’κονομία τώρα που ’ναι δυστυχία.
- Άντρα μου θέλω φουστάνι γύρω-γύρω με γαϊτάνι,
άντρα μου θέλω καπέλο γύρω-γύρω με το βέλο,
άντρα μου θέλω γοβάκια γύρω-γύρω με φιογκάκια,
άντρα μου θέλω βρακί γύρω-γύρω με γαζί.
- Βρε γυναίκα ’κονομία τώρα που ’ναι δυστυχία.
Και αρπάζω ένα ξύλο και τη φέρνω γύρω-γύρω
να γυναίκα μου φουστάνι γύρω-γύρω με γαϊτάνι,
να γυναίκα μου καπέλο γύρω-γύρω με το βέλο,
να γυναίκα μου γοβάκια γύρω-γύρω με φιογκάκια,
να γυναίκα μου βρακί γύρω-γύρω με γαζί.

Notes

As a type, the bad woman (lazy, greedy, a drunkard, sexually insatiable, and adulteress) was an inexhaustible source of subject matter for Carnival songs. The songs in this category have two main characteristics: outrageous exaggeration and the reversal of generally accepted masculine qualities which are projected onto women as serious shortcomings.

Recording information

Live recording from the concert Carnival Songs With Domna Samiou at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall, at 4/3/2003.
