Στίχοι: Νίκος Μπακογιάννης
Μουσική: Γιώργος Ζαμπέτας
1. Γιώργος Ζαμπέτας

Ήταν γόνος παλαιάς οικογενείας
Με οικόσημο και τίτλους Ευγενείας
Ο παππούς του ήταν σερ Επτανησιώτης
Κι ο προπάππους του και κόντες και ιππότης

Κι ο απόγονος φοράει тη μεγάλη τη στολή
Και πορτιέρης έχει γίνει, σε δραματική σχολή
Ντρικι, ντραμ Μαναρα, Μανουλα, Βρε μανά
Παίξε, Γιώργο μπαγλαμά

Τα πορτρέτα των προγόνων στα ντουβάρια
Κι από κάτω ξίφη, τόξα και κοντάρια
Στρατηγοί καμαρωτοί και σταυροφόροι
Κι ένα κάδρο της γιαγιάς σαν ήταν κόρη

Thanks as always, Monsieur A.

Is that translation from the liner notes of the album? I assumed it was your original one, but then I started to think that maybe it was from the album because it looked so organized and referenced the track of the cut, etc.

Please don't be offended that I asked - it's just that I'm not yet familiar with how you present your own translations when they're "first on the web" ...

You're welcome David

That's the way I expose my translations.
Scroll down the main Greek translations' subforum list and you'll see it for yourself.

Well it looks very professional because it IS! My compliments ...

I thought the Baglama was typically played with sad songs.

What about it, Daffy and Amethystos?

I like this one a lot




Boy this is an old one!

Not at all, Baglamas has a nice thin and acid voice so it can be used in any kind of songs
(mostly on the right channel)

And hear, listen after the overture of bouzouki the happy playing of baglama(s)
