They Call Me George ...

...


music by Yorgos Hadjinasios
lyrics by Yorgos Kanellopoulos



Με λένε Γιώργο



Με λένε Γιώργο και ποτέ δεν τραγουδάω
για της αγάπης τον γλυκόπικρο καημό.
Δεν έχω μάθει μαργαρίτες να μαδάω,
δεν περιμένω κανενός τον γυρισμό.

Με λένε Γιώργο και ποτέ δεν τραγουδάω
θα υποφέρω στη ζωή κάθε στιγμή.
Γιατί δεν έκανα ό,τι θά ‘πρεπε να κάνω,
γιατί σαν άνθρωπος δεν είχα την πυγμή.

This is a very "special" ... "dedication" ... to "someone" that, ... well, was "displeased" with my ... "previous rendition" ... of this particular "song" … ... ...

... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...

... and, … “conduct” towards them … although may I "remind" them that, THIS particular "song", was the "grounds" for "our" LITERAL ... "rekindle" ... ... ...

... !!! … *υ* ... !!! ...


This is to "make a point" of the "fact" that, ... well, I "listen" ...

... and, I am "trying" to ALWAYS "try" my "better" ... ... ...

... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...


So, ... de la mine pentru tine !!! ... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...

Με λένε Γιώργο
/ Me lene Yorgo
They call me George



Με λένε Γιώργο και ποτέ δεν τραγουδάω
/ me lene Yorgo ke pote den tragoudao
they call me George and I never sing
για της αγάπης, τον γλυκόπικρο καημό.
/ ya tis agapis, ton glikopikro kaimo
in favour of Love's "sweet and sour" anguish (yearning)
Δεν έχω μάθει μαργαρίτες να μαδάω
/ den eho mathi margarites na madao
I am not "accustomed" to "depilate daisies"
δεν περιμένω κανενός τον γυρισμό.
/ den perimeno kanenos ton yirismo
I am not "expecting" anyone's return

Με λένε Γιώργο και ποτέ δεν τραγουδάω
/ me lene Yorgo ke pote den tragoudao
they call me George and I never sing
θα υποφέρω στη ζωή κάθε στιγμή.
/ tha ipofero sti zoi kathe stigmi
I will suffer in life (at, with) every moment
Γιατί δεν έκανα ό,τι θά ‘πρεπε να κάνω
/ yati den ekana o,ti tha 'prepe na kano
because I didn't do what I should have done
γιατί σαν άνθρωπος δεν είχα την πυγμή.
/ yati san anthropos den iha tin pigmi.
because as a human being, I didn't have the might

Bună dimineaţa!!!!!

YOU ARE DEFINITELY CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! LOL!LOL!LOL!

Ευχαριστώ.... Τώρα είμαι καλά!!!

I'm running out of time now, but I'll explain in the afternood what is wrong with your expression:"mea afectua, caldura leoaica".

You managed to put a smile on my face this morning...Azim mou(lol!)...thank you!

Have a good day and I'll be here in the afternoon to talk about your changing the name!!!!

And why are you up at this hour?!?! I hope you got some sleep!

... no !!! ... no "sleep" cause, ... too "worked-up" ... !!! ...


... wanted to "see" you after you "saw" this ... !!! ...


... well, ALL the best with your day, adorable dya ... !!! ... ... ...

(... and, yes !!! ... I "knew" I "pushed my luck too far" with the "Romanian" ... !!! ... ... !!! ...)

Καλησπέρα! Είμαι εδώ!

I still can't believe you did that!!!

And you are right about this song breaking the ice...See...there's something about this name! LOL!

Do you still stick to the idea of changing your name into Γιώργος tomorrow morning? I don't think it's necessary, as you have earned yourself a big step forward by interpreting this song properly.

Although...I have to protest as I can't see the name Γιώργος Μαζωνάκης anywhere in your post. That's boycott!!!LOL!

I'm listening to the song right at this very moment...as to practice the new words...you know I need the voice for that. Thank you for offering me this possibility! LOL! LOL!

We have a saying around here, its literal translation is "where you hit and where it cracks! " It's meant like when you hit a piece of wood at one end, and in fact it cracks at the opposite one despite your intention and desire!

I think it can apply just fine in this case.....you have just pushed me into listening to the voice.... thank you! LOL! LOL!

As for the romanian expression: if you wanted to say: "my warm and affectionate lioness" that would be "leoaica mea caldă şi afectuoasă". Like in greek the possesive adjective comes after the noun.
"Mea" is the possesive adjective for feminine, singular nouns. "Meu" is the form for masculine, singular names. At this point romanian is more complicated as the form of the possesive adjective varies according to all the features of the possesed object.

Let me show you:

femeia mea = η γυναίκα μου
femeile mele = οι γυναίκες μου
bărbatul meu = ο αντρας μου
bărbaţii mei = οι αντρες μου

... ...


... şi eu sunt aici ... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...

... jeg er her også ... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...

... I am here, too ... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...

... κ' εγώ είμαι 'δώ ... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...


... ...


... şi eu, îţi mulţumesc foarte mult tine, ... leoaica mea caldă şi afectuoasă ... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...

"Si eu îţi mulţumesc foarte mult ţie". Another difference between greek and romanian: we have 5 cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative and vocative. ţie is the dative form....

LOL... I think I pass that thread then... hahaha...

Jeg har det bra, håper du har det bra også!
