Ποιός ήταν ο προξενητής

Original Lyrics

Ποιός ήταν ο προξενητής

Ποιός ήταν ο προξενητής, π’ ανέβαινε τη σκάλα
ωχ, π’ ανέβαινε τη σκάλα
κι ταίριαξε τον αϊτό, ματζί με τη σουλτάνα
ωχ, ματζί με τη σουλτάνα.

Τσεσμελίδική μου γλάστρα
με τα λούλουδά σου τ’ άσπρα.

Η μάνα σου ήταν η αρχή που σ’ έφερε στο γάμο
και σ’ έδαν τα ματάκια μου και ζάφτι δεν τα κάνω.

Αλατσατιανέ μου αγέρα
που φυσάς νύχτα και μέρα.

Γαμπρέ μη λυπηθείς φλουριά και κάμ’ ένα κλουβάκι
και βάλε τη νυφούλα μας που ’ναι κοπελουδάκι.

Έλα, έλα σαν σου λέγω
μη με τυραννείς και κλαίγω.
Τσεσμελίδική μου γλάστρα
με τα λούλουδά σου τ’ άσπρα.
