Κοιμάται η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός

Original Lyrics

Κοιμάται η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός

Κοιμάτ’ η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός και πώς να τους, και πώς να-
και πώς να τους ξυπνήσω,
θα πάρω διαμαντόπετρες να τους πετρο- να τους πε-
να τους πετροβολήσω.

Έλα μάτια μ’, έλα φως μου
λόγια μην ακούς του κόσμου.
Έλα, έλα σαν σου λέγω
μη με τυραννείς και κλαίγω.

Ξύπνα του έρωτα παιδί, του ήλιου θυγατέρα
ξυπνήσατε και μέτζιασε ο ήλιος την ημέρα.

Τα ματάκια σου τα μαύρα
είν’ όλο καημός και λάβρα.
Τα ματόκλαδά σου κλείνουν
και να φύγω δε μ’ αφήνουν.

Νύφη μ’ όταν γεννιόσουνε ο ήλιος εκατέβη
την εμορφιά του σου ’δωκε και πάλι οπίσω ανέβη.

Νύφη μου που να γεράσεις
και τρισέγγονα να πιάσεις.
Νύφη μου μαλαματένια
και κουμπάρα διαμαντένια.
