Original Lyrics
Ω, Παναγία Δέσποινα
Ω, Παναγία Δέσποινα, με τον μονογενή σου
στ’ αντρόγυνο που θα γενεί, να δώσεις την ευχή σου.
Σου τάζω Παναγία μου ένα χρυσό καντήλι
να τους ταιριάξεις και των δυο στο χέρι δαχτυλίδι.
Σου τάζω Παναγία μου μιαν ασημένια ζώνη
να τους ταιριάξεις και των δυο σ’ ένα διπλό σεντόνι.
Σου τάζω Παναγία μου, οκάδες το λιβάνι
να τους ταιριάξεις και των δυο στην κεφαλή στεφάνι.
