Για δέστε τράπεζα χρυσή

Listen

Original Lyrics

Για δέστε τράπεζα χρυσή

Για δέστε τράπεζα χρυσή και πιάτα ασημένια
κι αγγελικά προσώπατα τριγύρω καθισμένα.

Τα δυο της χεροκάλαμα
μ’ ασήμι κι όλο μάλαμα.

Σε τούτη δω την τράπεζα, τα πιάτα ’ν’ ασημένια
του χρόνου σαν ξανάρθουμε να ’ναι μαλαματένια.

Για δες τηνε την πέρδικα
πως περπατεί λεβέντικα.

Εμείς εδώ δεν ήρθαμε να φάμε και να πιούμε
μόνον τα καλορίζικα ήρθαμε να σας πούμε.

Μ’ ευχές και με παινέματα
γίναν τα προξενέματα.

Σε τούτη δω την τράπεζα, θέλω να τραγουδήσω,
ν’ ανοίξω τις καρδούλες σας και να τις λουλουδίσω.

Στα όρη το ’πια το νερό
και βράχνιασα και δε μπορώ.
