Original Lyrics

Χριστούγεννα Πρωτούγεννα (Αστυπάλαιας)

Χριστούγεννα Πρωτούγεννα, πρώτη αρχή του χρόνου,
εβγάτε, δείτε, μάθετε που ο Xριστός γεννάται,
γεννάται κι ανατρέφεται με μέλι και με γάλα,
το μέλι τρων οι άρχοντες, το γάλα οι αφεντάδες
και το μελισσοβότανο το λούζονται οι κυράδες.

Κι ανοίξτε τα κουτάκια σας τα κατακλειδωμένα
και δώστε μας απ’ το χρυσό που ’χουνε τα πουγγιά σας.
Αν είστ’ από τους πλούσιους, φλουριά μη λυπηθείτε
κι αν είστ’ από τους δεύτερους, ένα ζευγάρι κότες.

Και σας καληνυχτίζομεν, πέσετε κοιμηθείτε,
ολίγον ύπνον πάρετε κι ευθύς να σηκωθείτε,
στην εκκλησία τρέξετε με όλη προθυμία
και του Θεού ν’ ακούσετε τη θεία λειτουργία.

Κι από χρόνου σας
