TA MAVRA MATIA SOU, Parakalo *

[bogazici86]

Hi friends, could someone please translate "Ta mavra matia sou" by Panagoitis Rafailidis? I'm sorry I couldn't find the greek lyrics, I hope it will not be a problem for you to find it. If you write the lyrics in latin letters, it will be better. Thank you in advance.

[Milena]

bogazici86, is this the right song?


mi figis
ke pote mi m'arnithis

ta mavra matia sou
otan ta vlepo me zalizoune
ke tin kardia mu sigklonizoune
otan ta vlepo mu thimizoune
kapia agapi mu palia

mesa sta matia sou
kitazo kini pou agapousa mexri htes
ekini pou anikse sta stithia mou pliges
ta mavra matia sou m'anaboun pirkagies

ta mavra matia sou
otan ta vlepo me zalizoune
ke tin kardia mu sigklonizoune
otan ta vlepo mu thimizoune
kapia agapi mu palia


gitme
ve hiç bir zaman beni reddetme

o kara gözlerin
onları gördüğümde başımı döndürüyorlar
ve kalbimi sarsıyorlar
onları gördüğümde bana hatırlatıyorlar
eski bir aşkımı

o gözlerinin içinde
düne kadar sevdiğim o kişiye bakıyorum
o ki göğüslerimde yaralar açtı
kara gözlerin bende yangınlar başlatıyor

[Tahira]

Hi, I have some additional information to this song:

it´s originally an arabic song called: Nebtidi min el hikaya and was composed by Mohamed Abdul Wahab.

Great song - in both versions greek or arabic!

Tahira

[bogazici86]

Yes, Milena. It's the right song. Thank you so much for your translation
Tahira, I didn't know it was an Arabic song but I like the greek one so much. Thank you for the information you gave
Have a nice day

[Milena]

No problem.

Does somebody have the full Greek lyrics as well? I have searched but only found the Greek-Turkish combination.

For example Kotsiras has performed the full greek version live...but lyrics are hard to find Same for Aggelopoulos (isnt that the original by the way?)

Here are the Greek lyrics from stixoi.info Wonderful song !!

Τα μαύρα μάτια σου

Μη φύγεις
και ποτέ μη μ' αρνηθείς

Τα μαύρα μάτια σου
όταν τα βλέπω με ζαλίζουνε
και την καρδιά μου συγκλονίζουνε
όταν τα βλέπω μου θυμίζουνε
κάποια αγάπη μου παλιά

Μέσα στα μάτια σου
κοιτάζω κείνη που αγαπούσα μέχρι χτες
εκείνη που άνοιξε στα στήθια μου πληγές
τα μαύρα μάτια σου μ' ανάβουν πυρκαγιές

Τα μαύρα μάτια σου
όταν τα βλέπω με ζαλίζουνε
και την καρδιά μου συγκλονίζουνε
όταν τα βλέπω μου θυμίζουνε
κάποια αγάπη μου παλιά

He was the one who sang it first in Greece but the music was by the Egyptian musician above. (that Tahira had written)

[Xandrios]

Thanks!

For some reason I always thought the arabic part was missing from those Greek lyrics, but they are actually right Kotsiras has added a bit of 'miiii feeeuuugeeiiiss' at the beginning but other than that its indeed the same. Please slap me for not looking better ;-)

For everyone who prefers latin letters, in full:
