Της λυγερής το φόρεμα

Listen

Original Lyrics

Της λυγερής το φόρεμα

Της λυγερής το φόρεμα, της νύφης το φουστάνι
της νύφης το φουστάνι,
δέκα κορίτσια το ’ραβαν και δεκοχτώ ραφτάδες
και δεκοχτώ ραφτάδες.

Κι ένα κορίτσι λυγερό σαν του Μαγιού τον κρίνο
και δροσερό σα χαραυγή, ράβει και τραγουδάει.

Όσα στολίδια νύφη μου έχει το φόρεμά σου
τόσα να ’ναι τα χρόνια σου και τόσα τα καλά σου.

Νύφη στο νυφοστόλι σου ανάβουν δυο λαμπάδες
στον ουρανό παν οι φωτιές, στη γη οι νοστιμάδες.

[Όσες ραφές και βελονιές έχει το φόρεμά σου
τόσα να ’ναι τα χρόνια σου και τόσα τα καλά σου.]
