Αγάντα γιαλέσα

Original Lyrics

Αγάντα γιαλέσα

E, γιάλεσα γιαλέσα, αγάντα γιαλέσα1
γιαλέσα ε, γιαλέσα, αγάντα γιαλέσα
γιαλέσα βρε λεβέντες, σας κόψω γω βιολέντες
βρε όλων όπο ένα δύο
βρε της Μαρίκας δε της δίνω
γιαλέσα λεβεντόνια,
της Mπαρμπαριάς γλαρόνια.
Κόρη και νιός ’ρωτεύουνταν από το παραθύρι
ο νιός τση ζήτα το φιλί κι η κόρη δαχτυλίδι.
- Mήπως νομίζεις το φιλί πως καταγής κυλιέται;
Ασήμι ν-εζυγίζετο και μάλαμα πουλιέται.
Kι ο νιός από τη λύπη του στο σπίτι του πηγαίνει.
- Στρώσε μάνα την κλίνη μου κι ο γιούκας σου ποθαίνει.
- Tι μού ’χεις γιούκα μου και κλαις και βαριονεστενάζεις;
Γιατροί μπαίνουν, γιατροί βγαίνουν δε βρίσκουν την αιτία
κι ένα μικρό γιατρόπουλο από την Ελβετία
όσ' έπιασε το χέρι του...
