Stelios Rokkos - Έτσι αγαπάω εγώ / that's the way i love


Αν αγαπάς αληθινά / if you love truly
παίρνεις τα όρη τα βουνά / you go to the mountains
και τραγουδάς / and sing
τον έρωτά σου στη σελήνη / your love to the moon

Κι ύστερα στέκεις σιωπηλά / and then you stand silent
να 'ρθουν τ'αστέρια χαμηλά / for the stars to come down
για να τους πεις / to tell 'em
μέχρι που θα 'φτανες για κείνη / how far you'd go for her

Αν αγαπάς αληθινά / if you love truly
έχεις δυο μάτια φωτεινά / you have two bright eyes
και μια καρδιά / and a heart
παντοτινά ξελογιασμένη / infatuated forever

Αν αγαπάς αληθινά / if you love truly
φεύγεις ταξίδια μακρινά / you leave for long journeys
και το κορμί σου / and your body
να γυρίσεις περιμένει / waits for you to come back

Έτσι αγαπάω εγώ / that's the way i love
έτσι αγαπώ / that's the way i love
τίποτα για μένα / nothing for me
για μένα δεν κρατώ / i keep nothing for me

Έτσι αγαπάω εγώ / that's the way i love
έτσι αγαπώ / that's the way i love
όλα εγώ τα δίνω / i give everything
για κείνη που αγαπώ / for her who i love (could be: "for the one i love" but references a woman )

Αν αγαπάς αληθινά / if you love truly
σου μοιάζουν όλα γιορτινά / everything looks festive
δε νιώθεις κρύο / you don't feel cold
δεν αισθάνεσαι τον πόνο / you don't feel the pain

Αν αγαπάς αληθινά / if you love truly
δε βλέπεις μαύρο πουθενά / you don't see black anywhere
και στο μυαλό σου / and in your mind
το κορμί της έχεις μόνο / you have only her body

Αν αγαπάς αληθινά / if you love truly
έχεις δυο μάτια φωτεινά / you have two bright eyes
και μια καρδιά / and a heart
παντοτινά ξελογιασμένη / infatuated forever

Αν αγαπάς αληθινά / if you love truly
φεύγεις ταξίδια μακρινά / you leave for long journeys
και το κορμί σου / and your body
να γυρίσεις περιμένει / waits for you to come back

some songs of Haris Alexiou have been posted before, but this one just keeps enchanting me

[amaryn]

and a different song about the same pair of eyes Tahira! This invites a bellydance, really!

[Amethystos]

This recording is the first time "Proino Tsigaro" has been widely heard.
Comes from the concert in the memory of Manos Loizos at Olympic Stadium in Athens during 1985

Yeap! Nikolakopoulou has done a great job with these guys.
She might not be as talented as Kraounakis in teaching the interpretation of songs and settinp up a concert,
but she's got the charisma of creating a special atmosphere.

[amaryn]

She is singing with a velvet voice this little ballad. It suits me: I've a headache:Insomnia

[amaryn]

this one I like a lot

[amaryn]

The first time I ever drank ouzo I thought it was a tasty water (it looked that way!) and I emptied the bottle at once....
At night I should perform with an orchestra on Rhodos as the singer, but I had such a splitting headache that I couldnot
In honour of this awesome drink: this song

[amaryn]

Glikeria once more: she's so volatile, t is what I appreciate in her songs:
