Original Lyrics

Παρακαλώ σε, Παναγιά

Παρακαλώ σε, Παναγιά, προσκυνούμεν σε, Θέ μου
Να μας χαρέσεις τα κλειδιά και τ’ ανεχτήρια ’ντάματ’1
Ν’ ανοίξωμε Χριστού τούϊ θυρ’, να διούμεν μέσα τί έχ’
Καθούτανε κι Αϊ-Θόδωρος κι Αϊ-Στρατήγος ’ντάματ’
Και ζύγιζαν τ’ αμαρτωλούς με τό ’νουμά τους ’ντάματ’
Αμαρτωλοί στην κόλαση, στάϊ πίσα στάϊ βατράνια2
Τραχιά τραχιά, λουν τα νερά, τάϊ νερά στόϊ πεγάδι
Κι εκεί στόϊ πεγαδόχειλο ένα δενδρί φυλλώνει
[Και το δενδρί κι αν φύλλωνε κι αν φύλλο δεν μυρίζει]


1’ντάματ’: αντάμα του
2βατράνια: κατράμι
