Καστελλοριζιανή σούστα - Μάνα χαρά μεγάλη

Listen

Original Lyrics

Καστελλοριζιανή σούστα

Μάνα χαρά μεγάλη

Ήρθαν και πιάσαν στο χορό χέρια μαλαματένια
και δάχτυλα κεριάφωτα και νύχια σιντεφένια.

Μάνα χαρά, μάνα χαρά, μάνα χαρά μεγάλη
γαμπρός απού τη μεριά κι η νύφη απού την άλλη.

Γαμπρέ και συμπεθέροι μου θέλω να σας προτείνω
να μη μας το μαράνετε το δροσερό μας κρίνο.
