Ας είν' η ώρα η καλή

Original Lyrics
Ας είν' η ώρα η καλή
Ας είν’ η ώρα η καλή και η ευλογημένη
που την ευλόγησ’ ο Θεός με το δεξί του χέρι.
Να ζήσετε χρόνια πολλά
ευτυχισμένα και καλά.
Γαμπρέ μου να την αγαπάς τη νύφη τη χαδούλα
γιατί την είχ’ η μάνα της νοικοκυρά σε ούλα.
Γαμπρέ χρυσή ’ν’ η ζώνη σου
χιλιάδες να ’ν’ οι χρόνοι σου.
Νύφη μου στην α-σκάλα σου φύτεψε μαντζουράνα
να κόβεις να μυρίζεσαι με την καινούργια μάνα.
Νύφη μου ωραία κόρη
περδικούλα από τα όρη.
