Πρωτομαγιά

Listen

Original Lyrics

Πρωτομαγιά

Καλώς μας ήρθες Μάη, χρυσομάη
με τ’ άνθη στολισμένος ήρθες πάλι.

Μάη, Μάη, Μάη, Μάη με δροσιές
Μάη χρυσομάη, όλο λεβεντιές.

Πρωτομαγιά τα λούλουδα γιορτάζουν
και τα πουλιά τα ταίρια του φωνάζουν.

Τραγουδούν το Μάη, Μάη γύρω στα κλαδιά
τραγουδούν το Μάη, Μάη στην αλιγαριά.

Κορίτσια περπατούνε ταίρι, ταίρι
με λούλουδα πρωτομαγιάς στο χέρι.

Τραγουδούν το Μάη, Μάη γύρω στα κλαδιά
τραγουδούν το Μάη, Μάη στην αλιγαριά.

Πρωτομαγιά τα λούλουδα γιορτάζουν
και τα πουλιά τα ταίρια του φωνάζουν.

Τραγουδούν το Μάη, Μάη γύρω στα κλαδιά
τραγουδούν το Μάη, Μάη στην αλιγαριά.
