Good Day Brothers (Epiphany Carol from Patmos)

Original Lyrics

Αύριον είναι ντω Φωτώ (Αστυπάλαιας)

Αύριον είναι ντω Φωτώ που ψάλλουν οι παπάδες
και που γυρίζουν τα στενά και λεν τον Ιορδάνη.
Βοήθεια τον έχομε τον Μέγα Ιωάννη
που παρεδέχθην ο Χριστός να πά' να τον βαφτίσει.
Ώχου, αφέντη μου Χριστέ και πώς θα σε βαφτίσω
που θα καούν τα χέρια μου, σαν το κερί θα λείσουν
και σαν το κιτρολέμονο θα κιτρολεμονίσουν.
