Στη Θεσσαλία πήγα μια μέρα στου κάμπου τα χωριά είδα κορίτσα,είδα κι αγόρια,σαν τα κρύα νερά.Θεσσαλία μου γλυκιά μες στον κάμπο ζωγραφιά,όπου κι αν ευρίσκομαι σε έχω μέσα στην καρδιά.Πήγα στο Βόλο και στην Καρδίτσα,Τρίκαλα,Λάρισα.Οι Καραγκούνες με τα σιγκούνια μου κάψαν την καρδιά.Θεσσαλία μου γλυκιά με την κούπα αγκαλιά,όπου κι αν ευρίσκομαι σε έχω μέσα στην καρδιά. PERIPHERY STRIKES BACK-Η ΠΕΡΙΦΕΡΕΙΑ ΑΝΤΕΠΙΤΙΘΕΤΑΙ

Căluş is amale dance of southern Romania(Oltenia/Wallachia Minor).Etymologically all these variants can be traced back to the Romanian wordcal(horse), which in turn derived from the Latincaballus. The tradition is also played by theVlachs (Aromanians) of Serbia and Bulgaria, and hence was introduced into the folklore of Bulgaria under the same name, spelled "Kalushar"/"Kalushari".(The video is from Serbia)(more)
the ritual probably derived from ancient purification and fertility rites using the symbol of the horse, which was worshipped as an embodiment of the sun. The ritual’s name derives from the Căluş, the wooden part of the horse’s bridle. According to tradition, groups of dancing and chanting Căluşari, who were thought to be endowed with magical healing powers, went from house to house, promising good health and prosperity to villagers.
