    Smile "Thank you" for making me listen to this song!

    Title: Koita pos ta fernei
    Music: Sissi Tzinioli
    Lyrics: Nektario Bitros
    Sung by Themis Adamantidis
    CD: Sinithis Ipoptos (Legend 2002)
    Track no: 07 on CD2

    Μαύρα μάτια δακρυσμένα με κοίτανε ερωτευμένα
    Black eyes in tears look me with love
    Μαύρα μάτια μ'έχουν στείλει μες'στου έρωτα το δείλι
    Black eyes have send me into love's sunset
    Μες'στου έρωτα το δείλι
    Into love's sunset

    Κοίτα πως τα φέρνει κοίτα, κοίτα τα μάτια μου η ζωή
    Look how life make things happen, my beloved (actually says "my eyes" referring to her)
    Να'σαι τώρα εσύ με άλλον και να μ'αγαπάς πολύ
    You're now with another and love me the most
    Κοίτα πως τα φέρνει κοίτα άγγελε μελαχροινέ
    Look how life make things happen, my dark haired angel
    Να με θέλεις να σε θέλω έρωτα μου δυνατέ
    You want me, I want you, my strong love

    Μαύρα μάτια μαγεμένα απ'του έρωτα το βλέμμα
    Black eyes, bewitched by love's sight
    Μαυρά μάτια σαν φεγγάρια της ψυχής μαργαριτάρια
    Black eyes like moons, pearls of soul
    Της ψυχής μαργαριτάρια
    Pearls of soul

    "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"

    I just can't find a descent bio not even in Greek!
    Well there's a note that claims to be his bio on the record company's page in the http://www.exismusic.gr/sng/adamantidis/index.html
    but here there's nothing trully important to note except that he started to sing when he was 14yo, and that his family were immigrants in South Africa.
    Oh! I forgot to tell you that he was meant to participate in ESC back in 1982 with a rather lunatic disco version of a traditional song called "Sarantapente kopelies", but ERT (Greek national tv) finally understood that the contest approves the participation of only unrecorded songs.

    The only video sample I have found from his youth is this one->

    Sorry but there's nothing more than that!

    As for songs, you may search the forum threads where you'll find the most known songs of him already translated.

    thank you again!!! its kinda hard to find any biography on greek artists except for listings of their recordings etc. i guess well give a couple years until greek music will conqeur the world and then hopefully somebody will write something )))

    Πονάμε όσοι αγαπάμε

    Στίχοι: Δημήτρης Ιατρόπουλος
    Μουσική: Ray Girado
    Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Θέμης Αδαμαντίδης

    Είν' η αγάπη ένας σταθμός
    Κάθε φιλί κι ένας καημός
    Και κει που λες να η χαρά
    Σου κόβει η πίκρα τα φτερά

    Πονάμε όσοι αγαπάμε
    Γιατί η χαρά μες στη ζωή
    Είν'ακριβή

    Εκεί που ανθίζει η ζωή
    Πέφτει μια μπόρα στη ψυχή
    Και εκεί που είναι όμορφη η βραδιά
    Γεμίζει δάκρυα η καρδιά

    Πονάμε όσοι αγαπάμε
    Γιατί η χαρά μες στη ζωή
    Είν'ακριβή

    Έτσι είναι πάντα η αγάπη
    Ζει μοναχά με το δάκρυ
    Κι όλοι εμείς που αγαπάμε
    Το μάθαμε πια να πονάμε

    Εκεί που ανθίζει η ζωή
    Πέφτει μια μπόρα στη ψυχή
    Και εκεί που είναι όμορφη η βραδιά
    Γεμίζει δάκρυα η καρδιά

    Πονάμε όσοι αγαπάμε
    Γιατί η χαρά μες στη ζωή
    Είν'ακριβή

    Πονάμε όσοι αγαπάμε - those who fall in love will get hurt

    Στίχοι: Δημήτρης Ιατρόπουλος
    Μουσική: Ray Girado
    Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Θέμης Αδαμαντίδης

    Είν' η αγάπη ένας σταθμός - love is like a station
    Κάθε φιλί κι ένας καημός - each kiss and desire
    Και κει που λες να η χαρά - and where you think there will be happiness
    Σου κόβει η πίκρα τα φτερά - bitterness cuts your wings

    Πονάμε όσοι αγαπάμε - those of us who fall in love get hurt
    Γιατί η χαρά μες στη ζωή - because happiness in life
    Είν'ακριβή - is costly

    Εκεί που ανθίζει η ζωή - where life blooms/flourishes
    Πέφτει μια μπόρα στη ψυχή - a heavy rain falls on the soul
    Και εκεί που είναι όμορφη η βραδιά - and where there is a beautiful night
    Γεμίζει δάκρυα η καρδιά - the heart fills with tears

    Πονάμε όσοι αγαπάμε - those of us who fall in love get hurt
    Γιατί η χαρά μες στη ζωή - because happiness in life
    Είν'ακριβή - is costly

    Έτσι είναι πάντα η αγάπη - that is how love always is
    Ζει μοναχά με το δάκρυ - it exists alone with a tear
    Κι όλοι εμείς που αγαπάμε - and all of us who fall in love
    Το μάθαμε πια να πονάμε - we have learned that we will be hurt

    Εκεί που ανθίζει η ζωή - where life blooms/flourishes
    Πέφτει μια μπόρα στη ψυχή - a heavy rain falls on the soul
    Και εκεί που είναι όμορφη η βραδιά - and where there is a beautiful night
    Γεμίζει δάκρυα η καρδιά - the heart fills with tears

    Πονάμε όσοι αγαπάμε - those of us who fall in love get hurt
    Γιατί η χαρά μες στη ζωή - because happiness in life
    Είν'ακριβή - is costly
