Original Lyrics

Η αγάπη μου παντρεύεται

H αγάπη μου παντρεύεται και παίρνει τον εχθρό μου
δεν τό ’χω πως παντρεύεται και παίρνει τον εχθρό μου
μον’ τό ’χω πως με κάλεσε τα στέφανα ν’ αλλάξω,
Παπά μ’ αν είσαι χριστιανός και ξέρεις απ’ αγάπη
πάρε παπά μ’ τα στέφανα και βάλτα στην κουμπάρα
να γίνει ο σύντεκνος γαμπρός και η κουμπάρα νύφη.
