im looking for a traditional greek song

[elena]

i dont know the name of the song and i dont know any about Greek alphabet and language....but the lyrics sound like
"tu adra tu ola vari
midumila te dobroi"
and the background sound consists in a cycle of free drum's bits

please, if anyone can give me the name of the song for my further searching or the download itself then it would be very helpfull and we are very greatefull....

[elena]

i mentione that we are not living in Greece but some grandparents of ours were greeks....it is still important for our family despite they are actually ded and tradition risks to be lost
thanx

Here's the song you are looking for. It's not traditional however, it's a "laiko" song from the 60's.

Lyrics: Erikos Thalasinos
Music: Gianis Markopoulos
It was first sung by Gianis Ntounias

Του άντρα του πολλά βαρύ
To the very tough man (literal translation : "too heavy", and it's a phrase used to describe the greek coffee when it's prepared too strong)

μην του μιλάτε πρωί
don't talk to him in the morning

μην του μιλάτε πρωί
don't talk to him in the morning

του άντρα του πολλά βαρύ. (δις)
to the very tough man (twice)

Ο λόγος του συμβόλαιο
His word is as good as a contract

στη πιάτσα έχει βέτο
he has veto rights on the market

το ούζο πίνει ανέρωτο
he drinks his ouzo without water

και τον καφέ του σκέτο.
and his coffee black.

Του άντρα του πολλά βαρύ
μην του μιλάτε πρωί
μην του μιλάτε πρωί
του άντρα του πολλά βαρύ. (δις)

Ψηλά φτάνει το χέρι του
His hand can reach high up

μα χαμηλά κοιτάζει
but he looks down to earth

μ' αγάπη ξέρει να μιλά
he knows how to talk with love

μ' αγάπη ν' αγκαλιάζει.
and how to embrace with love.

Του άντρα του πολλά βαρύ
μην του μιλάτε πρωί
μην του μιλάτε πρωί
του άντρα του πολλά βαρύ. (δις)
