Τραγούδι της Σούσας

Original Lyrics

Τραγούδι της Σούσας

Το τέρτιν της καρτούλας μου

Το τέρτιν της καρτούλας μου δκυο μύλοι εν τ’ αλέθουν
μήτε οι στράτες το χωρούν μ’ οι ποταμοί που τρέχουν.

Καράβι στο λιμνιώναν τυλίει τα πανιά
για το μελαχρινό μου έβκην η αβανιά.

Σαράντα μέρες νηστικός έκαμεν ο ζωγράφος
ζωγράφησεν την κόξαν της και εν έκαμε λάθος.

Αντάν να δώσ’ ο ήλιος απάνω στα τεισιά
χαρά μου να σε θώρουν πάντα στην εκκλησιά.

Εφτά καντάρκα ζάχαρην να ρίξω μες στη λίμνη
για να γλυκάνει το νέρον η κουντουρού να πίνει.

Καράβιν καραβάκι που πας γιαλό, γιαλό
αν πας για την Ελλάδαν πες μου να πάω τζι εγώ.
