lyrics

Moricos, los mis moricos,
los que bajan de la Kina,
por traer una ‘sclavica,
y una ‘sclavica cativa.

Que no sea d’alta gente
ni menos de Kastoría.
Estas palabras diciendo
a la ‘sclava la traía.

Ya la toman por el brazo
ende el rey l’yevaría.
En los diás de sus diás
a parir s’asentaría.

La ‘sclava parió un hijo,
la reina parió una hija.
Hermani la mi kerida,
no trompas la compañia.

Ya la tomana la reina
en kamas da bien parida.
Ya la toman ala sclava
al banko de la kozina.

Ya la traen a la reina
gaina sofrita fina.
Ya la traen a la sclava
kaldo de lexia fina.

La comadres echizeras
trokuan a las kriaturas
Nani, nani, la mi hija
kriada e non parida.

Nani, nani, la mi hija
kriada e non parida.
Si tu papu lo savia,
karrosa d’oro te traía.
