Γαμπρέ μου καλορίζικε

Γαμπρέ μου καλορίζικε

Γαμπρέ μου καλορίζικε τη νύφη που επήρες
τιμή και δόξα κι ομορφιά τής δώσανε οι μοίρες.

Το μύγδαλο το τσάκισα
κι μέσα σι ζουγράφισα.

Όμορφη που ’ν’ η νύφη μας κι όμορφα τα προικιά της
όμορφη κι η παρέα της που κάνει τη χαρά της.

Ώσπου να ‘ρθει η άνοιξη
να παντρευτ’ η παράνυφη.

Όμορφη που ’ν’ η νύφη μας, εγώ δε θέλω λόγια
στάζουν τα μαγουλάκια της τριαντάφυλλα και ρόδα.

Ώσπου να στέκ’ ο ουρανός
να ζει η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός.
Άσπρο χαρτί με γράμματα
να ’χουν καλά γεράματα.
