Looking for name/artist of this Greek song

[Laki]

Kalimera/kalispera all,

I'm looking for any info to this song which I loved when I was a kid but dont know who sings it and the name of it,although I have a strong suspicion it could be the first few words of this song.Fortunately I do remember the first verse so I gather one of your good selves out there will be familiar with it! Heres hoping, fingers X. : )

Sorry,I have an english keyboard so I'll do my best to get it right & translate too even though my greek toungue isnt perfect:

'O taxintzis o thanatos -(The driver of Death?)Grim Reaper?
Tis meres mas metrai, - (he counts down our days)
Vlepi pos ithe i ora mas -(he sees that our time is up)
Sto terma na mas pai'. -(and takes us at the end)

Hope that helps.And I'd really very much appreciate it if anyone could post the rest of the lyrics as well (in Greek). That would be awesome!
ps Although the lyrics seem very grim,I was just captivated by the sad but haunting/eerie tune to this song back then.

I guess this is what you're looking for


Ο ταξιτζής ο θάνατος ----Στράτος Διονυσίου

Ο ταξιτζής ο Θάνατος
τις μέρες μας μετράει
βλέπει πως η ώρα μας
στο τέρμα να μας πάει

Γράφει το ρολόι, γράφει...
Κι η ζωή μας πάει στράφι

Ο ταξιτζής ο Θάνατος
στο χέρι μας κρατάει
αν αγαπάμε τη ζωή
ποτέ δε μας ρωτάει

Γράφει το ρολόι, γράφει...
Κι η ζωή μας πάει στράφι

I believe this is what you're looking for..

Στράτος Διονυσίου / Ο ταξιτζής ο θάνατος
Ο ταξιτζής ο Θάνατος
τις μέρες μας μετράει
βλέπει πως η ώρα μας
στο τέρμα να μας πάει

Γράφει το ρολόι, γράφει...
Κι η ζωή μας πάει στράφι

Ο ταξιτζής ο Θάνατος
στο χέρι μας κρατάει
αν αγαπάμε τη ζωή
ποτέ δε μας ρωτάει

Γράφει το ρολόι, γράφει...
Κι η ζωή μας πάει στράφι

At least Laki has the song now. Twice

[Laki]

I thank you (efharisto) both Dya & v1ss1 so much for identifying and pasting the lyrics here. I really do appreciate it. Atleast I can sing it twice now : D
Just one more thing and I know I'm pushing it now but is there a link where I can hear this song? Now that would be the icing-on-the-cake for me ; )
Cheers

Erm, if you allow me... The taxi driver is Death himself (in Greek Death is masculine, just like in Terry Pratchett's Discworld :Р).

Thanx for that panselinos.I'm not very fluent when it comes to Greek even though I speak it. I had an idea the taxi driver stood for something symbolic so thanx for the nfo. Cheers
