    If there was ever a cover of this, it hasn't been a hit.
    "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"

    Well if you don't know of one, then there probably isn't one.

    Too bad ... I can think of a couple of Greek songstresses that could have knocked this one out of the park.

    How about this Israeli song? Was there ever a cover of this in Greek?
