Yanni - Jivaeri

[Stathis193]

ENGLISH TRANSLATION Now a foreign land watches him grow my precious one my life's sweet smelling blossom silently and humbly. God, I was the one who sent him there my precious one it was my own will humbly I'm stepping on my land Damn you foreign lands you're winds lured him away Your promises for promised lands silently and humbly. How could you take my lad away foreign land and lure him to be yours humbly I'm stepping on my land.

[Anixneytis1]

nice song ...messy video

[harikuttan43]

It sounds and looks like dance and language of some Russian state.

JIVAERI MEANS EVERYTHING PRECIOUS.

AND THE MOST PRECIOUS FOR A MOTHER IS HER CHILD.

THE SONG JIVAERI IS A TRADITIONAL GREEK SONG OF THE AEGEAN SEA AND THE ASIA MINOR.

IT SPEAKS ABOUT A POOR MOTHER WHO SENDED HER SON AS A MIGRANT TO WORK IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY FOR SOME YEARS, TO MAKE SOME MONEY, SO THAT ALL CAN LIVE IN PROSPERITY, AND THEN COME BACK HOME TO HER

BUT SOME IMMIGRANTS NEVER RETURN HOME AND SO DID HER SON. AND THE MOTHER IS LEFT FOREVER ALONE WALKING QUIETLY AND HUMBLY UP TO EARTH

@paffy38, it is Uyghur dance, not Hungarian :-)

And the dance was even not for this song, someone dubbed it.

[Lifimari]

Is this a song about Gipsy traditions? The word gipsy in my language sounds so close to the word I hear in these lyrics. And the video seems to be relevant...Does anyone know? Thanks!

[AZDaniil]

Yeah! and in a Uzbec dress over!

@thaianeparreira ENGLISH TRANSLATION Now a foreign land watches him grow my precious one my life’s sweet smelling blossom silently and humbly. God, I was the one who sent him there my precious one it was my own will humbly I’m stepping on my land Damn you foreign lands you’re winds lured him away Your promises for promised lands silently and humbly. How could you take my lad away foreign land and lure him to be yours humbly I’m stepping on my land.

ok guys i thought long and decided to write this comment cos u guys misundersand the cultural dance, it belongs to Uzbek culture, if u have any doubts just check it from anywhere thanx for attantion gud bye

[tsolias27]

@vasteras84 it's a greek song you stubid turk, you know that, i know that we all know that, it is a greek song from Greeks that lived in Smyrne and they forced to live their homes during the Smyrne catastrofy or disaster(on english), that's why it's a sad song!Learn history and then speak out!

[Genieve]

I know its greek song.. greek composer.. but.. the dance is from Greece?

[paffy38]

no...dance Hungary!

[dobrody4405]

@paffy38 This dance is from Uzbekistan not from Hungary!

[tardismole]

@paffy38 Not it isn't, Paffy. This is Uzbekistani. Do your research before you upload.

[mintDesktop]

@Genieve the dance is not Hungarian, it's Uyghur dance

[yiakan]

@Genieve Be sure that is Greek traditional (folk) song, from complex of Greek Islands named Dodekanisa, in southeastern aegean sea, and especially from Kalimnos Island. Yianni created and performed an excellent version of this folk song. It's absolute no Hungarian dance.
