euxaristwwww!

Τάκα τάκα Γιώργος Νταλάρας
Στίχοι: Βασίλης Δημητρίου
Μουσική: Βασίλης Δημητρίου
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Γιώργος Νταλάρας & Οπισθοδρομικοί ( Ντουέτο )

Τάκα τάκα τάκα τάκα
σαν περπάταγες στην στράτα
και σου έστρωναν χαλί
εγώ σ' έβαζα στη βάρκα
και σε πήγαινα μια τσάρκα
στο απέναντι νησί

Τάκα τάκα τάκα τάκα
σαν παντρεύτηκες σου τα 'πα
να 'σαι πιο προσεκτική
μα εσύ μυαλό δε βάζεις
βγαίνεις μπλέκεις και αράζεις
όπως έκανες μικρή

Τσίκι τσίκι τσίκι τσίκι
ξεφλουδίζεις το φιστίκι
σαν αρμένισσα κυρά
ψάχνεις για τις ευκαιρίες
πας κι ανοίγεις ιστορίες
το 'χει μάθει η γειτονιά

Τίλι τίλι τίλι τίλι
άναψε κα 'να καντήλι
μη σε κάνουν τσακωτή
γιατί θα 'χεις ιστορίες
και θα γίνουν φασαρίες
για χατίρι σου τρελή (less)

hi can anybody help me? thanks again

y! could you help me on this one? efxaristo!

sorry, but this one is to hard for me..I tried to do first lines, and I already got lost

i have a question for you y!

starting from the beginning until today, how long did it take you to learn greek?

I can't say precisely..I learned about two months, and for two months, I learned to read, cases, present tense, aorist and about 50-60 words..but after that I haven't learn anything for one year..so I forgot all I knew
I still don't have time for it, except for some translation from time to time, and that's all...

can anybody translate this? thanks again!

This song is uite difficult to translate because it is quite advance... to learn a language fluently, in my opinion, you have to study that language for at least 2 years and you have to spend at least a year in the country where that language is spoken... If you do a quick-fix in a few months you can still communicate at a basic level but i dont think it is at all possible to speak a language fluently in such a short period of time... whatever you put in you get that out.. so the more you study and practise the better and quicker you ll speak..


Τάκα τάκα τάκα τάκα
chop-chop chop-chop
σαν περπάταγες στην στράτα
as if you were toddling in a walker
και σου έστρωναν χαλί
and they flatten you the carpet

εγώ σ' έβαζα στη βάρκα
i was putting you into a boat
και σε πήγαινα μια τσάρκα
and i was sallying and taking you
στο απέναντι νησί
over to the island across

Τάκα τάκα τάκα τάκα
chop-chop chop-chop
σαν παντρεύτηκες σου τα 'πα
as if you married i told you that
να 'σαι πιο προσεκτική
may you be more attentive
μα εσύ μυαλό δε βάζεις
but you dont put your mind into it
βγαίνεις μπλέκεις και αράζεις
you embroil and moor up
όπως έκανες μικρή
like you did a little

Τσίκι τσίκι τσίκι τσίκι
chiki-chiki, chiki-chiki
ξεφλουδίζεις το φιστίκι
you graze the shell off the peanut
σαν αρμένισσα κυρά
like plying at a lady
ψάχνεις για τις ευκαιρίες
you re looking for an opportunity
πας κι ανοίγεις ιστορίες
you go and unfold stories
το 'χει μάθει η γειτονιά
which the neighbourhood has learned

Τίλι τίλι τίλι τίλι
tili-tili, tili-tili
άναψε κα 'να καντήλι
turn on the lampion
μη σε κάνουν τσακωτή
they shall not scrap with you
γιατί θα 'χεις ιστορίες
because you ll have stories
και θα γίνουν φασαρίες
and they will become a fuss
για χατίρι σου τρελή (less)
for your crazy sake

Excellent Neslihan mou! In this phrase σαν περπάταγες you can also say when you were toddling, but as if you were toddling is fine too.

eh i don't know what toddling in a walker means
and what is "they flatten you the carpet"
you are a carpet and they flattened you? this is what happened?

1) he means this one http://www.bellalunatoys.com/_images...babywalker.jpg :P "When you was walking with a babywalker"
2) flattened you the carpet, he means when you lay down a carpet..

"i was sallying you"
what is that?
