Ελάτε όλα τα πουλιά

Listen

Lyrics

Come all you birds to make dough, help O Virgin,
now gold has merged with pearl, help O Virgin.
I make a round loaf for the bridegroom, a round loaf for the groomsman, help O Virgin.
A chestnut woven basket for them to take to him, help O Virgin.

Translated by G. D. Lemos

Original Lyrics

Ελάτε όλα τα πουλιά

Eλάτε όλα τα πουλιά να κάμετε ζυμάρι,
βοήθα Παναγιά μου
οπού ’σμιξεν το μάλαμα με το μαργαριτάρι,
βοήθα Παναγιά μου.

Kουλούρι πλάθω του γαμπρού, κουλούρι του κουμπάρου,
πανιέρι καστανόπλεχτο να ρθουν να του το πάρου(ν).
