Σαράντα πέντε μάστοροι

Original Lyrics

Σαράντα πέντε μάστοροι

Της Άρτας το γεφύρι

Σαράντα πέντε μάστοροι, ματάκια μου
κι εξήντα μαθητούδια, πού πας καρδιά καμέ[νη]

καμάρα ν-έχτιζαν γιαλό, καμάρα θεμελιώνουν,
όλη μερίτσα έχτιζαν κι απέ βραδίς χαλνούσεν.
Πουλάκι πάησι κι έκατσε ζερβά 'πό την καμάρα,
δεν κελαηδούσε σαν πουλί, σαν αγριοπούλι απού 'ταν,
μόν' κελαηδούσε κι έλεγε μ' ανθρώπινη λαλίτσα.
Αν δεν στοιχειώσ'τε άνθρωπο, καμάρα δε στεριώνει.
