Σήμερις είν' η μέρα μας

Original Lyrics

Σήμερις είν' η μέρα μας

Σήμερις είν’ η μέρα μας, φίλοι μ’ να σε χαρώμεν
Βαριά, βαριά, βαριά
Ιδέ τη νεονύφη μας να την επευχηθώμεν
Βαριά, βαριά, βαριά
Βαριά, βαριά ο αργαλειός
Να ζήσ’ η νύφη κι ο γαμπρός

Σήμερις άλλος ουρανός, σήμερις άλλη μέρα
Βαριά, βαριά, βαριά
Σήμερις εχωρίζεται μάνα και θυγατέρα
Βαριά, βαριά, βαριά
Βαριά, βαριά, βαρύτερα
Που σ’ αγαπώ καλλίτερα

Η νύφη μας είν’ έμορφη, ο ήλιος τη ζηλεύει
Βαριά, βαριά, βαριά
Και το φεγγάρι σαν τη δει, στέκεται βασιλεύει
Βαριά, βαριά, βαριά
Βαριά, βαριά στα σίδερα
Δε σ’ είδα χθες και σήμερα
Βαριά, βαριά, βαρύτερα
Που σ’ αγαπώ καλλίτερα
