Original Lyrics

Μια χήρα πούλαγε κρασί

Μια χήρα πού- μια χήρα πούλαγε κρασί,
μια χήρα πούλαγε κρασί και μάζωνε σιτάρι
και μάζωνε σιτάρι.
Μες στο κρασί ρίχνει νερό, στο στάρι ρίχνει βρόμη.
«Γιατί νερώνεις το κρασί, στο στάρι ρίχνεις βρόμη;».
«Έχω κόρη για παντρειά, θέλει να κάνει προίκα,
να κάνει ζώνη του γαμπρού, ποδιά της πεθεράς της».

Region: Central Greece
