    Μια παλιά ιστορία (Μην σκαλίζεις τη στάχτη ) 1970
    Στίχοι: Κώστας Βίρβος
    Μουσική: Στέλιος Καζαντζίδης

    Also, could someone give a good translation of this verse?

    Μια φορά εγελούσες όταν έκλαιγα εγώ
    σαν σκυλί με τραβούσες πότε εκεί, πότε εδώ.
    Μα περάσαν τα χρόνια κι ήρθαν άλλοι καιροί
    τώρα εγώ θα γελάω μα θα κλάψεις εσύ.

    Also, in the youtube clip above, why is someone in the background imitating a dog barking ?????? What is happening in the movie at that point?

    I LOVE IT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTMym_T0WyU

    Read this and you understand. People can't imagine the difference of the lyrics...

    Once you laughed when I cried
    like a dog pulling me (some times) there,(some times) here.
    But the years passed and came other times
    now I'll laugh but you will cry.
    Αν υπάρχει κάτι που δεν χρειάζεται την πλειοψηφία για να είναι σωστό, αυτό είναι η ανθρώπινη συνείδηση.

    Thanks for clearing up the matter of the "barking", Duffy.

    Thanks also for the example of another waltz - it's interesting that the song is as late as 2002. Sounds much earlier, because the instrumentation (orchestration) is so simple.

    Here's another in waltz-time, by the master himself (Zambetas.)

    Since the tempo is fast, it might be considered a 6/8 rather than a 3/4: Dah-da-da Dah-da-da

    Ήρθα κι απόψε στα σκαλοπάτια σου - 1961
