Original Lyrics

Η περπερούνα

Περπερούνα περπατεί
και το Θιό παρακαλεί
για να βρέξει μια βροχή,
μια βροχή, μια σιγανή
για να γέν’ τα στάρια μας
κι τα καλαμπόκια μας.
Μπάρις,1 μπάρις τα νιρά,
μπάρις, μπάρις τα κρασιά.


1μπάρις: λακούβες με νερό

Region: Macedonia
Type: Carol
Rhythm: 7 beats
Duration: 00:41
