Someone knows these songs?

Hi,
I have few songs in greek registered by my friend:
- Ine megalos
- Una pigie
- Api zoi mu
- Erimos dromos
- Tha se ksanavro
(but I'm not sure these are the titles).
Someone could tell me who sings it, and give me the lyrics and translation?

Thanks

3 Ti imouna yia sena - Adonis Remos

http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/gr...tml#post256975

Thank you, I would never find it with my elementary level of greek:-)

You're welcome

The first song by Mikis Theodorakis is called 'O kaimos'

You can see a clip here:

I've finally managed to identify this song, I have it somewhere but haven't managed to find it yet !

It is called Ο ξενύχτης ( O Ksenuxtis - one who stays up all night) and according to 'stixoi.info' was originally sung by Dimitris Mitropanos.

Greek lyrics are here in case you want them translated

Έρημος δρόμος χωρίς φεγγάρι
χλωμό θλιμμένο το παλικάρι
γιατί βαδίζει και ψιθυρίζει
γιατί αργοκλαίει γιατί γιατί

Κλείσαν οι πόρτες της καρδιάς σβήσαν γι αυτόν τα άστρα
γι αυτό ξενύχτης περπατά στου στεναγμού τα κάστρα
είναι σα φύλλο στο βοριά δεντρί χωρίς κλωνάρια
ο έρωτας πολύ σκληρά χτυπάει τα παλικάρια

Ένας ξενύχτης μεσ' στο σκοτάδι
βαρύς και μόνος αυτό το βράδυ
τι τον πικραίνει τι περιμένει
γιατί στενάζει γιατί γιατί



I can't help you with Tha se ksanavro - I don't know the song

Thank you very much once more!!! :-)

If i want it translate, I should make a new topic? Sorry, but it's my first time in a forum...

I managed to find the song in my collection... it is on a live CD by Adonis Remos ' Mia Nuxta Mono'

If no-one else translates it I'll try and do it for you tomorrow

Kaimos
Grigoris Bithikotsis

Ine megalos o gialos
Ine makri to kima
Ine megalos o kaimos
Ki ine pikro to krima

Potami mesa mou pikro
To ema tis pligis sou
Ki apo to ema pio pikro
Sto stoma to fili sou

Den kseris ti 'ne pagonia
Vradia horis feggari
Na mi gnorizis pia stigmi
O ponos tha se pari

Potami mesa mou pikro
To ema tis pligis sou
Ki apo to ema pio pikro
Sto stoma to fili sou

***

Dolore

Grande e' la spiaggia
lunga e' l'onda
e' grande il dolore
e amara e' la trasgressione

Amaro dentro di me il fiume
il sangue della tua ferita
e piu' amaro del sangue
il tuo bacio sulla bocca

Non sai cosa e' il gelo
raggi senza luna
non sapere in quale momento
ti prende il dolore

Amaro dentro di me il fiume
il sangue della tua ferita
e piu' amaro del sangue
il tuo bacio sulla bocca

_____

Italian translation by Roberto Patritti

Ο ξενύχτης
O Ksenixtis – The night owl (this is the only description in English I could think of)

Έρημος δρόμος χωρίς φεγγάρι
Erimos dromos horis fengari
Deserted road without the moon

χλωμό θλιμμένο το παλικάρι
Clomo thlimeno to palikari
Pale sad young man

γιατί βαδίζει και ψιθυρίζει
Yiati vadizei kai psithirizei
Why does he walk and whisper

γιατί αργοκλαίει γιατί γιατί
yiati argoklaiei yiati yiati
Why is he quietly crying.. why, why


Κλείσαν οι πόρτες της καρδιάς σβήσαν γι αυτόν τα άστρα
Kleisan I portes tis kardias svisan yi afton ta astra
Closed are the doors of the heart, therefore the stars went out

γι αυτό ξενύχτης περπατά στου στεναγμού τα κάστρα
yi afto ksenixtis perpata stou stenagmou ta kastra
Because of this the night owl walked in the sighing fortresses

είναι σα φύλλο στο βοριά δεντρί χωρίς κλωνάρια
ine sa filo sto voria dentri horis klonaria
He is like a leaf in the (north) wind, a tree without branches

ο έρωτας πολύ σκληρά χτυπάει τα παλικάρια
O erotas poli sklira xtipaei ta palikaria
A very hard passion attacks the young men


Ένας ξενύχτης μεσ' στο σκοτάδι
Enas ksenixtis mes’ sto skotadi
A night owl in the darkness

βαρύς και μόνος αυτό το βράδυ
Varis kai monos avto to vradi
Distant and alone this evening

τι τον πικραίνει τι περιμένει
Ti ton pikrainei ti perimenei
What grieves him what is he waiting for

γιατί στενάζει γιατί γιατί
Yiati stenazei yiati yiati
Why is he sighing..why, why


I hope that is OK, any corrections are welcomed !

γι αυτόν means for him, so it should be "Closed are the doors of the heart, for him the stars went out"

έρωτας, love itself is not hard here, so it should be "Love attacks the young men with cruelty"

Βαρύς means heavy, so it should be "Heavy and alone this evening"

But other than that well done Have you learnt Greek by yourself or have you enrolled in some course?


@Steena: Thank you!

Thanks for your corrections Zvezda, I did struggle in a few places but you are all helping me to learn

I first started to learn Greek by myself with the 'BBC Greek Language and People' book, then did a year (one night a week) at evening classes. That was several years ago and I don't have time to study now. Also I don't have anywhere here in the UK to use my Greek, only on holiday for couple of weeks a year, so it's difficult for me to remember what I have learned. Listening to Greek music keeps the language in my mind and I am always thrilled when I suddenly hear and understand another word or two in a song I 've been listening to for years

Trying to translate songs on here is good practise for me, and thanks to you all for your help, I'm sure to make more embarrassing errors any time soon!

Thank you both for the translation on: O ΞΕΝΥΧΤΗΣ ... one of my favorite songs

i have a few lines of a greek song i dont know the artist..if anybody knows the song it will be at great help..it gos something like this..."pou me zitas,ego psila tha ime monos mou kai monos''
thats all i know
