    Default MANOS LOÏZOS - T' AKOPNTEON (The Accordion)

    Hello,
    Just lately I have come across this haunting tune. Manos Loïzos has recorded it himself. Can anybody help with an English translation of the 3 rather short verses?
    Efharisto poli - Thanks a lot from Denmark

    You can read a pretty short Loizos' bio in this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manos_Lo%C3%AFzos

    You can hear a wonderful ballad called "S'akoloutho" singed by Mano himself -->:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTWT5J70Zrg

    "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
    You will never find that life for which you are looking.
    When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
    but life they retained in their own keeping"
