Original Lyrics

Αρχιμηνιά κι αρχιχρονιά (Νάξου)

Αρχιμενιά κι αρχιχρονιά κι αρχή του Γεναρίου
κι αρχή που βγήκεν ο Χριστός στη γη να περπατήξει.
Και βγήκε και χαιρέτηξε όλοι τσι ζευγολάτες.
Καλώς τα κάνετε γιωργοί, καλώς τα πολεμάτε
τα χίλια σας να ’ν’ εκατό και τα ’κατό σας χίλια
και τ’ αποκοσκινίδια σας αμέτρητα λοάρι.

Σήκω κι άνοιξε την πόρτα
που ’ρθα να στα πω σαν πρώτα.

Σήκωσ’ απάνω κι άνοιξε την πόρτα την καρένια
του χρόνου που θε να ’ρθομε να ’ναι μαλαματένια.

Άνοιξέ μας γιατί βρέχει
παρεξήγηση δεν έχει.

Ακόμα δεν τον ηύρηκες το μάνταλο ν’ ανοίξεις
να μας εδώσεις τα λεφτά κι ύστερα να σφαλίξεις.

Σήκω κι άνοιξε την πόρτα
που ’ρθα να στα πω σαν πρώτα.
