Original Lyrics
Ανάμεσα τρεις θάλασσες
Aνάμεσα τρεις θάλασσες καράβι κινδυνεύει
με τά ’ργανα κινδύνευε, με τον αέρα σειώνταν
και με τα χαλκοτύμπανα μαζεύοντ’ αντρειωμένες
μαζεύονταν, συνάζονταν ’κκλησιά θέλουν να στήσουν
να στήσουν την Αγια-Σοφιά, το Μέγα μαναστήρι.
Tα περιστέρια κουβαλούν, τα χελιδόνια χτίζουν
και οι άγγελοι απ' τους ουρανούς βάζουν τα κεραμίδια.
