Default to all the Greeks out there- Sfakianakis

I've just started to listen to Sfakianakis and I really liked Genethlia the lyrics are great, but I know that it's a cover. What do you think are the best songs from Sfakianakis?

Of course I wantI'm glad I can help U!Well U R lucky couse I found the translation of "Giftissa mera" in ItalianSo if U find the song here is the translationI Love Greece too!

Σώμα μου απόψε πάλι νίκησες
και την καρδιά μου λύγισες
καυτό σκοταδι μεσα μου η μοναξιά
σωμα μου καημένο δε σε ορίζω πια

Σώμα μου
σώμα μου φτιαγμένο απο πηλό
Σώμα μου
κάνεις ό,τι θέλεις το μυαλό

Σώμα μου απόψε επαναστάτησες
χωρίς ψυχή με άφησες
οι Ερινύες θα ‘ρθουνε όπου και αν πας
σώμα μου βουλιάζεις στο δρόμο που πατάς

Σώμα μου
σώμα μου φτιαγμένο απο πηλό
Σώμα μου
κάνεις ό,τι θέλεις το μυαλό

My body, tonight you defeated me again
and conquered my heart
Flaming hot darkness this loneliness within me
My miserable body, I can't control you any longer

My body
my body created from mud
My body
you do anything you want with my mind

My body, tonight you have revolted
left me without a soul
The Avenging Goddesses will come at you wherever you go
My body, you will sink underneath any road you walk on

My body
my body created from mud
My body
you do anything you want with my mind

Giorno zingaro (Sfakianakis)

Γύφτισσα μέρα μ' έναv ήλιο δειλό
στα σύννεφα κρυμμένο.
Γύφτισσα μέρα μ' έναv ήχο βραχνό
σαv τραγούδι θλιμμένο.

Η βροχή πoυ μαστιγώνει τους δρόμους
η καρδιά πoυ δεv αντέχει τους πόνους
μακριά σoυ η ζωή μoυ είναι άδεια
φοβισμένο παιδί στα σκοτάδια.

Γύφτισσα νύκτα μ' ένα φως χαμηλωμένο
σ' ένα κερί λιωμένο
γύφτισσα νύκτα μ' ένα όνειρο γυμνό
και φιλί ραγισμένο.

Η βροχή πoυ μαστιγώνει τους δρόμους
η καρδιά πoυ δεv αντέχει τους πόνους
μακριά σoυ η ζωή μoυ είναι άδεια
φοβισμένο παιδί στα σκοτάδια

Giorno zingaro con un sole timido
nascosto tra le nuvole.
Giorno zingaro con un suono rauco
come una canzone melanconica.

La pioggia che frusta le strade
il mio cuore che non sopporta la sofferenza
lontano da te la mia vita e' vuota
un bambino impaurito nel buio.

Notte zingara con una luce abbassata
esausta su una candela
notte zingara con un sogno nudo
e un bacio troncato.

La pioggia che frusta le strade
il mio cuore che non sopporta la sofferenza
lontano da te la mia vita e' vuota
un bambino impaurito nel buio

1.Αγάπη τι δύσκολο πράγμα

Αρχή και φινάλε
σκοτάδι και φως
αγάπη πανάρχαιο δράμα
σ' ακούω καρδιά μου
δεν είμαι κουφός
αγάπη, τι δύσκολο πράγμα.

Σωρός αναμνήσεις
δεν πάει καιρός
αγάπη και γέλιο και κλάμα.
Στο τέλος δεν ήμουν
πολύ τυχερός
αγάπη, τι δύσκολο πράγμα.

Οι αγάπες χάνονται
σβήνουν σαν τ' αστέρια
φεύγουν σαν τα καλοκαίρια.

Οι αγάπες χάνονται
σβήνουν σαν τ' αστέρια
φεύγουν σαν τα καλοκαίρια
φεύγουν σαν τα καλοκαίρια.

Κολλάει ο χρόνος
δεν πάει εμπρός
και συ δεν μου στέλνεις πια γράμμα
δεν θες να με ξέρεις
λες κι είμαι εχθρός
αγάπη, τι δύσκολο πράγμα.

Οι αγάπες χάνονται
σβήνουν σαν τ' αστέρια
φεύγουν σαν τα καλοκαίρια.

Οι αγάπες χάνονται
σβήνουν σαν τ' αστέρια
φεύγουν σαν τα καλοκαίρια
φεύγουν σαν τα καλοκαίρια

Love is such a difficult thing

Beginning and end
darkness and light
love is an ancient drama
I can hear you darling,
I am not deaf
love is such a difficult thing.

So many memories
it hasn't been long
love and laughter and cry.
I wasn't so lucky
in the end
love is such a difficult thing.

Loves get lost,
they fade away like the stars
they leave like the summers.

Loves get lost,
they fade away like the stars
they leave like the summers
they leave like the summers.

Time sticks
it doesn't pass
and you won't send me a letter any more
you don't want to know me
as if I were an enemy
love is such a difficult thing.

Loves get lost,
they fade away like the stars
they leave like the summers.

Loves get lost,
they fade away like the stars
they leave like the summers
they leave like the summers

2.Αηδόνι

Όταv κλαίει έvα αηδόvι
έvας έρωτας τελειώvει.
Έvα αηδόvι όταv σωπαίvει
έvας έρωτας πεθαίvει.

Παίξτε, παίξτε βιoλιά
τραγoυδήστε πoυλιά,
μόv' o θάvατoς είv' αθάvατoς
κι ας πεθαίνω στα προδομένα τα φιλιά της.

Παίξτε, παίξτε βιoλιά
τραγoυδήστε πoυλιά,
μόv' o θάvατoς είv' αθάvατoς
κι ας πεθαίνω ξανά μέσα στηv αγκαλιά της.

Όταν κλαίει ένα αηδόνι
βάφει κόκκινο τo χιόνι.
Ένα αηδόνι όταν σωπαίνει
απ' τη δύση o ήλιος βγαίνει.

Παίξτε, παίξτε βιoλιά
τραγoυδήστε πoυλιά,
μόv' o θάvατoς είv' αθάvατoς
κι ας πεθαίνω στα προδομένα τα φιλιά της.

Παίξτε, παίξτε βιoλιά
τραγoυδήστε πoυλιά,
μόv' o θάvατoς είv' αθάvατoς
κι ας πεθαίνω ξανά μέσα στηv αγκαλιά της.

Παίξτε, παίξτε βιολιά
τραγουδήστε πουλιά,
μόv' o θάνατος είv' αθάνατος,
στη δικιά της vα σβήσω αγκαλιά.

Όταν κλαίει ένα αηδόνι
ένας έρωτας τελειώνει.

Allodola

Quando piange una allodola
un amore finisce.
Una allodola quando tace
un amore muore.

Suonate, suonate violini
cantate uccelli,
solamente la morte e' immortale
e lasciatemi morire nei suoi baci traditori.

Suonate, suonale violini
cantate uccelli,
solamente la morte e' immortale
e lasciatemi morire ancora tra le sue braccia.

Quando piange una allodola
si colora di rosso la neve.
Una allodola quando tace
il sole spunta dall'occidente.

Suonate, suonate violini
cantate uccelli,
solamente la morte e' immortale
e lasciatemi morire nei suoi baci traditori.

Suonate, suonale violini
cantate uccelli,
solamente la morte e' immortale,
e lasciatemi morire ancora tra le sue braccia.

Suonate, suonale violini
cantate uccelli,
solamente la morte e' immortale,
che possa svanire tra le sue braccia.

Quando piange una allodola
un amore finisce

3.Άκου βρε φίλε

Άκου βρε φίλε να δεις τι κρίμα
στα δάκρυά της έπεσα θύμα
καρδιά δεν είχε στα στήθια μέσα
ήτανε ψεύτρα δεν είχε μπέσα

Μάτια που κλαίνε μην τα πιστεύεις
είναι επικίνδυνα να τ' αγαπάς
Θα σε γελάσουνε αν τα λατρεύεις
θα σε πληγώσουν και θα πονάς

Άκου βρε φίλε να δεις τι κρίμα
στα δάκρυά της έπεσα θύμα
έκανε τάχα πως μ' αγαπάει
τώρα πονάω κι η αλήτισσα γελάει

Μάτια που κλαίνε μην τα πιστεύεις
είναι επικίνδυνα να τ' αγαπάς
Θα σε γελάσουνε αν τα λατρεύεις
θα σε πληγώσουν και θα πονάς

Ascolta amico

Ascolta amico guarda che peccato
sono caduto vittima delle sue lacrime
non aveva cuore nel petto
era una bugiarda e non manteneva fede

Non credere a occhi che piangono
sono pericolosi da amare
ti derideranno se li adori
ti feriranno e soffrirai

Ascolta amico guarda che peccato
sono caduto vittima delle sue lacrime
ha fatto finta di amarmi
ora soffro e la vagabonda ride

Non credere a occhi che piangono
sono pericolosi da amare
ti derideranno se li adori
ti feriranno e soffrirai


4.Δάνειο ζωής

Ζωή πικρή πες μου λοιπόν τι έχω κάνει
Και με παιδεύεις και φαρμάκι με κερνάς
Ασε με λίγο μήπως βρω κι εγώ λιμάνι
Δώσε μου πίσω τη χαρά που μου χρωστάς

Δως μου ένα δάνειο ζωή
Δυο μήνες ευτυχία
Και βάλε επιτόκιο
Δυο χρόνια δυστυχία

Εγώ ζητάω φάρμακο για τις πληγές μου
Κι εσύ φαρμάκι έχεις μάθει να κερνάς
Αφού τα χρέη μου τα πλήρωσα για πες μου
Πότε θα πάψεις επιτέλους να χτυπάς

Un prestito di vita

Vita amara dimmi un po' cosa ho fatto
che mi tormenti e mi propini veleno
lascia un po' che anch'io trovi un porto
restituiscimi la gioia che mi devi

Fammi un prestito di vita
due mesi di buona fortuna
e calcola come interesse
due anni di infelicita'

Io cerco una medicina per le mie ferite
e tu hai imparato a propinarmi veleno
visto che ho pagato i miei debiti dimmi
insomma quando la smetterai di colpirmi


5.Είναι ν' απορείς

Είναι ν' απορείς, που χάθηκε τόσο φως
όλο σ' ένα δίσκο στον ήλιο.
Είναι ν' απορείς, που βρέθηκε τόσο χρυσάφι
όλο σ' ένα ξανθό κεφάλι στο φεγγάρι

Είναι ν' απορείς, που βρέθηκε τόση αγάπη
όλη σ' ένα στενό σάκο στην καρδιά σου.
Είναι ν' απορείς, που βρέθηκε τόση απουσία
όλη σε ένα βλέμμα στα μάτια σου.

Είναι ν' απορείς...

C'e' da meravigliarsi

C'e' da meravigliarsi, che tutta questa luce
si perda in un disco del sole.
C'e' da meravigliarsi, che si trovi tutto
quell'oro nella testa bionda della luna

C'e' da meravigliarsi,che si trovi tutto
quell'amore in un sacco stretto nel tuo cuore.
C'e' da meravigliarsi, che si trovi tutto
quel distacco in uno sguardo dei tuoi occhi.

C'e' da meravigliarsi...

Here I'll post U some more,keep telling me do U like the songs and I'll give U moreI'm happy U like themO and Nino is the boy from my avatar,his is young greek singer and all of his songs are brilliant I think,try to find some I'm sure U'll like them


1.Ερωτικό

Με μια πιρόγα φεύγεις και γυρίζεις
τις ώρες που αγριεύει η βροχή
στη γη των Βησιγότθων αρμενίζεις
και σε κερδίζουν κήποι κρεμαστοί
μα τα φτερά σου σιγοπριονίζεις

Σκέπασε αρμύρα το γυμνό κορμί σου
σου 'φερα απ' τους Δελφούς γλυκό νερό
στα δύο είπες πως θα κοπεί η ζωή σου
και πριν προλάβω τρις να σ' αρνηθώ
σκούριασε το κλειδί του παραδείσου

Το καραβάνι τρέχει μες στη σκόνη
και την τρελή σου κυνηγάει σκιά
πώς να ημερέψει ο νους μ' ένα σεντόνι
πώς να δεθεί η Μεσόγειος με σχοινιά
αγάπη που σε λέγαν Αντιγόνη

Ποια νυχτωδία το φως σου έχει πάρει
και σε ποιο γαλαξία να σε βρω
εδώ είναι Αττική φαιό νταμάρι
κι εγώ ένα πεδίο βολής φτηνό
που ασκούνται βρίζοντας ξένοι φαντάροι

Love song (in a canoe)

In a canoe, you leave and you return
in those hours when the rain turns to downpour
On the shore of the Visigoths you make landfall
and the hanging gardens conquer you
but always the gentle see-saw of your wings

you taste of salt, cover your naked body,
from Delphi I have brought you sweet water
twice you said you live will be cut short
and before I managed the third denial
the key to paradise had rusted

the shop is speeding in the dust
and hunting your crazed shadow
how can the mind find peace in a sheet
how can the Mediterranean be tied with ropes
beloved, whom they called Antigone

What nightfall has taken away your light
and in which galaxy might I find you
this here is Attica, a grey stone-quarry
and I am a cheap shooting-range
where foreign soldiers are exercising.



2.Θα με θυμάσαι

Δεν θα σε ρωτήσω αν ποτέ μ' αγάπησες
θέλεις να σ' αφήσω πες το καθαρά
όμως να το ξέρεις τη ζωή που χάλασες
θα ζητήσεις πίσω όταν θα 'ναι αργά

Θα με θυμάσαι σα φωτιά
στην παγωμένη σου καρδιά
και θα ζητάς τη μοναξιά σου να ζεστάνω
θα με θυμάσαι σα βροχή
στην διψασμένη σου ψυχή
