Original Lyrics
Νέβα κατέβα Παναγιά
Νέβα κατέβα Παναγιά, νέβα κατέβα Παναγιά
με το μονο- Παναγιά μου, με το μονογενή σου
στ’ αντρόυ(γ)νο που γίνηκε, στ’ αντρό(γ)υνο που γίνηκε
να δώσεις την, Παναγιά μου, να δώσεις την ευχή σου.
Να ζήσει η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός, να ζήσει η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός
να ζήσει κι ο, Παναγιά μου, να ζήσει κι ο κουμπάρος
να ζήσει κι ο προξενητής, να ζήσει κι ο προξενητής
να κάμει κι ά- Παναγία μου, να κάνει κι άλλο γάμο.
