If I Sing for the Groom

Αν τραγουδήσω το γαμπρό
Listen
Original Lyrics
Αν τραγουδήσω το γαμπρό
Αν τραγουδήσω το γαμπρό, θέλ’ ‘α χολιάσ’ η νύφη
ας τραγουδήσω και τους δυο και του κουμπάρου ας λείπει.
Αμυγδαλάκι τσάκισα
και μέσα σε ζωγράφισα.
Γαμπρέ μου καλορίζικε ν’ ασπρίσεις, να γεράσεις
τη νέα που σου δώκαμε να μη την ε-χουλιάσεις.
Αμυγδαλοτσακίσματα
τσ’ αγάπης είναι πείσματα.
Το στόμα που τραγούδησε πρέπει να τ’ ασημώσω
να πάρω διαμαντόπετρες, να πάω να του δώσω.
Ώσπου να φέγγ’ ο ουρανός
να ζει η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός.
