Best, Eva

For me that's ok! I'm not into this theme but you can continue 'cause your doing us a favor increasing our general knowledge

רוז אתה שומע אמנים מזרחיים כמו מושיק עפיה דודו אהרון רגב הוד וכו'

I was too lazy to elaborate on the WHY...but just as you said and the delivery...a rare one...

This is maybe more interesting as a historical document than for the music. It's a video recording of Manolis Angelopoulos show at the Plaka club ("Ha-Flaka") in Tel Aviv in 1987, two years before he died:

One of my favourite songs, with Ehud Banai and Daklon:

[IS88P4zlHHk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS88P4zlHHk[/video]

As I usually do, I will give you the Greek original! It's a really odd cover, since the original is a Pontic (Black Sea) tune, sung in the Pontic Greek dialect. I don't know how Ehud Banai came across this one!

Eva....
Are you serious?
I'm still amazed at the level of interest people outside Israel show in our music.
I always thought Hebrew, being a lauguage spoken in just ONE country, is the least communicative language.
I think Ehud is a fan of Kazandidis and just like many of us searched the web for more music of his.
Just like you found the clip Thank God for Youtube !!!
Thank you for both clips...You're giving me a crash course in Greek music and a bootcamp in Hebrew music.

Patt...I know you didn't ask but this is my way of saying Thank You for this song

לבדי, מתהלך מתפתל מאהבתי
Levadi mithalech mitpatel me'ahavati
By myself I walk and twist and turn of my love
וכשאת מחייכת גאוותי
Uch'sheat mechayecht ga'avati
And when you smile , my pride
כמעט ודועכת נפלה היא לבור קנאה
kim'at vedo'echet naflah he labor kin'ah
Almost subsides, it fell to a jealousy pit
ילדים, משחקים בתופסת על גג ביתי
Yeladim mesachakim betofeset al gug beiti
Kids are playing Chase on the roof of my house
שיכור מתעורר לעוד יום
Shikor mitorer le'od yom
A wino is waking up to another day
שמלא אלכוהול בלי טיפת תקווה
she'ma'leh alchohol bli tipat tikvah
That's filled with alchohol with not a bit of hope


ואולי הכל יחלוף עם הרוח
Ve'ulay hakol yachalof im haruach
and maybe all will be gone with the wind
כמו קטע מסרט ישן
kmo ketah miseret yashan
Like a clip of an old movie
לספור רגעים ולברוח מהזמן
lispor rega'im velibroach mehazman
To count moments and escape time
ואולי, אולי יהיה בי עוד כוח
ve'ulay , ulay yihiyeh be ode koach
And maybe, maybe I'll have more strength in me
ולו רק לרגע אחד
velu rak leregah echad
and if only for one moment
לנדוד כמו אבק עם הרוח
lindod kmo avak im haruach
To wonder like dust in the wind
עכשיו כשאני כאן לבד
ach'shav kshe'ani kan levad
Now that I'm alone here


לבדי מתחבט מתלבט מאהבתי
Levadi mitchabet mitlabet me'ahavati
By myself, I ponder I deliberate
משתוקק מתנתק מתאוותי
Mishtokek mitnatek mita'avati
I yearn , I detach of my lust
מכה נאבקת אוחזת כדי לא לרעוד עוד
shemaka ne'eveket ochezet kdai lo lir'od ode
(that's) hitting struggling holding to stop shaking anymore
לבדי, גם כשאת מחבקת יקירתי
Levadi, gam kshe'at me'chabeket yakirati
By myself, even when you're holding my darling
לבדי גם כשאת מזכירה
Levadi gam kshe'at mazkira
By myself even when you're reminding
שביחד הרבה יותר קל לשרוד
she'beyachad harbeh yoter kal lisrod
That together it's a lot easier to survive


ואולי הכל יחלוף עם הרוח
Ve'ulay hakol yachalof im haruach
and maybe all will be gone with the wind
כמו קטע מסרט ישן
kmo ketah miseret yashan
Like a clip of an old movie
לספור רגעים ולברוח מהזמן
lispor rega'im velibroach mehazman
To count moments and escape time
ואולי, אולי יהיה בי עוד כוח
ve'ulay , ulay yihiyeh be ode koach
And maybe, maybe I'll have more strength in me
ולו רק לרגע אחד
velu rak leregah echad
and if only for one moment
לנדוד כמו אבק עם הרוח
lindod kmo avak im haruach
To wonder like dust in the wind
עכשיו כשאני כאן לבד
ach'shav kshe'ani kan levad
Now that I'm alone here
