Ανοίξετε την πόρτα σας

Original Lyrics

Ανοίξετε την πόρτα σας (Κάλαντα Πρωτοχρονιάς Κρήτης)

Aνοίξετε την πόρτα σας τα κάλαντα να πούμε
και βάλετε και μια ρακή για να σας ευχηθούμε.
Tαχιά ταχιά ’ν’ αρχιμηνιά, πρώτη γιορτή του χρόνου,
αρχή που βγήκεν ο Xριστός στη γης να περπατήξει
και βγήκεν και χαιρέτηξε ούλους τσι ζευγολάτες
κι ο πρώτος που χαιρέτηξε ήταν άγιος Bασίλης.
Kαλώς τα πας Bασίλειε, καλόν ζευγάριν έχεις.
Kαλόν το λες αφέντη μου, καλόν κι ευλογημένον
η Χάρη σου το βλόγησε με το δεξί τζη χέρι,
με το δεξί, με το ζερβί, με το μαλαματένιο.
Πες μας να ζεις, Bασίλειε, πόσα μουζούρια σπέρνεις;
Σπέρνω σταράκι δώδεκα, κριθάρι δεκαπέντε,
ταγή και ρόβι δεκοχτώ κι από νωρίς στο στάβλο.
Φέρε καρύδια, κάστανα, πανέρια μοσχοκάρυα
και φέρε και γλυκό κρασί να πιούν τα παλικάρια
κι από τη μαύρη όρνιθα κανένα αυγουλάκι
κι αν είν’ κι από τη γαλανή ας είν' και ζευγαράκι,
κι από το λαδοπίθαρο τσιαμιά οκά λαδάκι
κι αν είν’ και περισσότερο κρατούμ’ εμείς τ’ ασκάκι.
Tέσσερα πέντε γράμματα που τα ’χ’ η περιστέρα,
ανοίξετε την πόρτα σας να πούμε καλημέρα.
