Original Lyrics
Σήμερα λάμπει ο ουρανός
Σήμερα λάμπει ο ουρανός, σήμερα λάμπει η μέρα
σήμερα στεφανώνεται αϊτός την περιστέρα.
Ένα τραγούδι θε να πω απάνου στο ρεβίθι
χαρά στα μάτια του γαμπρού που διάλεξαν τη νύφη.
Ένα τραγούδι θε να πω απάνου στο κεράσι
να ζήσ’ η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός, να ζήσει, να γεράσει.
Ένα τραγούδι θε να πω απάνου στο λεμόνι
να ζήσ’ η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός κι οι συμπεθέροι όλοι.
