    Post Lyrics for Melina Mercouri song in Phaedra

    In this movie, Phaedra, Melina Mercouri sings in Greek to Tony Perkins.
    I remember some of the lyrics, and they run like this:

    "Agape mou, agape mou..
    i nuxta tha mas pari
    ta astra te or uranos to krio to fengari"

    If this rings a bell with anyone, I'd like to know.

    The Name Of The Song Is " Asteri Mou Feggari Mou" ( My Star My Moon)

    Αστέρι μου, φεγγάρι μου, της άνοιξης κλωνάρι μου
    κοντά σου θά 'ρθω πάλι, κοντά σου θά 'ρθω μιαν αυγή
    για να σου πάρω ένα φιλί και να με πάρεις πάλι.

    Αγάπη μου, αγάπη μου, η νύχτα θα μας πάρει,
    τ' άστρα κι ο ουρανός, το κρύο το φεγγάρι.

    Θα σ' αγαπώ, θα ζω μες στο τραγούδι
    θα μ' αγαπάς, θα ζεις με τα πουλιά
    θα σ' αγαπώ, θα γίνουμε τραγούδι
    θα μ' αγαπάς, θα γίνουμε πουλιά.

    Ο ποταμός είναι ρηχός
    κι ο ωκεανός είναι μικρός
    να πάρουν τον καημό μου.

    Να διώξουνε τα μάτια σου
    να πνίξουνε τους όρκους σου
    από το λογισμό μου.

    Asteri mou, feggari mou, tis aniksis klonari mou
    konta sou tha 'rtho pali, konta sou tha 'rtho mian avgi
    gia na sou paro ena fili ke na me paris pali.

    Agapi mou, agapi mou, i nihta tha mas pari,
    t' astra ki o ouranos, to krio, to feggari.

    Tha s' agapo, tha zo mes sto tragoudi
    tha m' agapas, tha zis me ta poulia
    tha s' agapo, tha ginoume tragoudi
    tha m' agapas, tha ginoume poulia.

    O potamos ine rihos
    ki o okeanos ine mikros
    na paroun ton kaimo mou.

    Na dioksoune ta matia sou
    na pniksoune tous orkous sou
    apo to logismo mou.

    Maria_gr and Nardy Bernal. You are both wonders. For one thing, I have been looking for this movie since it disapppeared from the movie theaters and from everywhere else for that matter sometime in the late 60s. In 1962 it was playing at every movie theatre in New York. At IMDB, everybody in the forms is asking about it, but no one seems to know where to get it. I have the score here on a 33rpm disk (wow, does that ever date me!), and...and...at long last, I am waiting here in Japan for a copy of it to arrive in the next few days. I cannot wait to see it. And...thanks again very much.

    Robert:
    Am glad that I could help a bit and also that you will get your copy of that movie, I really don't know about it (is it about the Greek Myth of Faedra?) , but I know how it feels to look for a movie or music and find nothing (big frustration), so I understand your exitement.

    Default phaedra

    you guys are really remarkable--remembering that melina mercouri sang a greek song, knowing the original lyrics, knowing greek! anyway, all i know is that i've long wanted to see this movie again, and i'm surprised, given the quality of this movie, that it hadn't been transferred to vhs, then dvd.

    Of course Melina sang in Greek, cause she was Greek!
