    Cool The name of the song with the lyrics Μες την Αθινα ρε παιδια

    Back in the late 1950's or maybe the early 1960's my father used to sing a song with one of the lines being "Μες την Αθινα ρε Παιδια, πεζουν τα μπουζουκακια". The rest of the song is pretty much a blur in my memory with the exception of another line that goes " Λεναι τραγουδια της" καρδιας"
    Does anybody know the name of this Greek song ?

    Thank you for the video. More importantly, I can now learn the lyrics. They are bluesy, but I enjoy this song !

    Rough spelling just for you to sing it:

    Mes tin Athina vre pedia
    Pezun ta buzukakia
    Lene tragudia tis kardias
    Pou svinoun ta farmakia (x2)

    Opios kathisei ke ta pii
    Ton pono tu xexnaei
    Pou exei stin kardoula tou
    Kai varianastenazei (x2)

    Ela ke si magitisa
    Na akuseis duo logakia
    Ton pono sou ton xerume
    Emis ta buzukakia (x2)


    Translation:


    In athens o guys
    Buzukakia (little instruments) play
    They say songs of heart
    That fade the sorrows (x2)

    Whoever sits and drinks
    Forgets his pain
    Inside his heart
    Which makes him heavybreathing (x2)

    Come too, you proud-woman
    To listen some words (lyrics)
    We know your pain
    Us buzukakia (x2)
