Yes, I've found it on one of my Nisiotika CDs it is called:
ME TI VARKA THA SE PAO
Thank you for the answer. This seems to be the song.
Interesting too is that "barca" is "boat" in Romanian.
(was there a moment in Greek history when "beta" was read "b" and not "v"?)
I am pleased I helped you with the song, but I don't know the answer to your other question........maybe the experts could help with that one![]()
The letter originally represented the b sound, and it's name was pronounced BETA. In Moderen Greek, however, βήτα is pronounced VITA and represents the v sound.
So, in Ancient Greek Φόβος, the embodiment of fear and horror in Greek mythology was pronounced FoBos (hence "phobia"), while in Modern Greek it's FoVos. Respectively Φοίβη (Phoebe) was Foibe, and in Modern Greek it's Fivi.![]()
It's funnier in Enochian
