Original Lyrics
Παντρεύεται μια λυγερή
Παντρεύεται, μαρή Άννα μου, ψιλή μου μαντζουράνα μου,
παντρεύεται μια λυγερή κι όλος ο κόσμος θα χαρεί,
παίρνει προί- μαρή Άννα μου, ψιλή μου μαντζουράνα μου,
παίρνει προίκα και ελιές και πολλές αμυγδαλιές,
παίρνει προίκα και λιοτρίβι,
καγκελένιο έχει το φρύδι.
Εδώ δουλεύουν παλικάρια,
δυνατά σαν τα λιοντάρια
βγάζουν λάδι κεχριμπάρι,
ποιος θε να το πρωτοπάρει,
για να κάνουνε γλυκά
στης λυγερής μας τη χαρά
παντεσπάνια, τηγανίτες
και λογιών, λογιών τις πίττες.
