Original Lyrics
Καινούργιος γάμος γίνεται
Καινούργιος γάμος γίνεται, με γεια του, με γεια του
με γεια του, με χαρά του και η Παναγιά κοντά του.
Xαίρεται η μάνα του γαμπρού, με γεια του, με γεια του
χαίρεται κι ο πατέρας του, με γεια του, με γεια του
χαίρουνται τ’ αδερφούλια του, με γεια του, με γεια του
χαίρουνται κι οι γειτόνισσες του, με γεια του, με γεια του.
