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.
