Original Lyrics

Σήμερα είναι των Φωτών (Μικράς Ασίας)

Σήμερα είναι των Φωτών που αγιάζουν οι παπάδες
και μες στα σπίτια ψάλλουνε και λεν τον Ιορδάνη.
Ο Ιωάννης Βαφτιστής εγύρισε και είπε:
«Χαρίσατέ μου τα κλειδιά, τα μαργαριταρένια
ν’ ανοίξω τον Παράδεισο, να πιω νερό δροσάτο
να πέσω ν’ αποκοιμηθώ σε μια μηλιά από κάτω,
να πέσουν τ’ άνθη απάνω μου, τα μήλα στην ποδιά μου
και τα χρυσά τριαντάφυλλα τριγύρω στα μαλλιά μου.»
Ανήφορος, κατήφορος σε τρία πηγαδάκια
κάθονται τρεις μελαχροινές με τα σγουρά μαλλάκια.
Η μια κεντά τον ουρανό, η άλλη το φεγγάρι
κι η τρίτη η μικρότερη κεντά τον Αϊ-Γιάννη.
Κέντα το κόρη, κέντα το του Γιάννη το μαντίλι
και γέμισέ το ζάχαρη κι άμε το στο πλαστήρι
κι απ’ το πλαστήρι στο σχολειό κι απ’ το σχολειό στο σπίτι.
