    Exclamation im looking for a traditional greek song

    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....

    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)
