Original Lyrics
Συμπεθερκάτκο
Πα στης νύ- πα στης νύφης τα χεράκια
κάθεντ’ δυο- κάθεντ’ δυο περιστεράκια.
Το ’να κιλαϊδεί κι λέει
να ’ν’ καλά οι παντριμένοι
τ’ άλλο κιλαϊδεί κι λέει
να ’ν’ καλά κι οι καλεσμένοι.
Έλα πουλί μου έλα κι πιάσ’ το χέρι μου
κι ρώτα την καρδιά μου πως πάει το κέφι μου.
Έλα τώρα που ’ρθαν κι άλλοι,
δυο μικροί και τρεις μεγάλοι.
Μάτια μου σαν τονε δείτι
θαρριτά να τον μιλείτι.
Μάτια μου μαργιολιμένα
μαργιουλιυεύτε με κι μένα.
Έλα να σε φιλήσου και φίλα με κι συ
και σαν του μαρτυρήσου, μαρτύρα του κι συ.
Έλα μάτια μ’, έλα φως μου
λόγια μην ακούς του κόσμου.
