Εμείς δεν ήρθαμεν εδώ

Listen

Original Lyrics

Εμείς δεν ήρθαμεν εδώ

Εμείς δεν ήρθαμεν εδώ, εμείς δεν ήρθαμεν εδώ
να φάμε και να πιούμε, κι έλ’ αμάν, αμάν
μόνο τα καλορίζικα, μόνο τα καλορίζικα
ήρθαμε να σας πούμε, κι έλ’ αμάν, αμάν.

Μάνα χαρά, μάνα χαρά, μάνα χαρά μεγάλη,
γαμπρός από τη μια μεριά και νύφη από την άλλη.

Γαμπρός μας είναι μάλαμα, κόρη μ’ ακέριο ασήμι,
όμορφα που ταιριάξατε εις την ταπεινωσύνη.

Το δέντρο που σ’ εφέραμε κόρη μου στην αυλή σου
ροδόσταμο το πότιζα να το ’βρεις στη ζωή σου.
