Melina Mercouri - Love Theme from 'Phaedra' (1962)

[monicadumitre]

TEG, you doi a great job, you have taste and, obviousl;y, culture. As for Melina, only an actress, a great one, can make people listen although the only words they know is sagapao, tragodia or agapi mou. Listen again and again....

quelle merveille!!!

[mucksche]

Beautiful song! I'm a grand admirer of Melina Mercouri. Even I named one of muy daughters after her! Greece is very poor without her ... ;(

[ArtisticPropaganda]

Check out the hip hop remix I did of this song. It's in the video responses.

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.

Smoking will ruin your voice. Remember that, kidz.

I was too young to see this film as I was only 14 years old. But, the music (song) really touched my heard and never forget it. Sad, Romantic and nostalgi!!!!!! I did not know many singers cover this song and that much popular in Greece. I'm Japanese

[7venomgr]

mr Tepukki i m tired of some people like you ... when MELINA sings you can not have an opinion about greece show some respect if you have any idea what this is.

[dna2374]

Greece did Her duty. And Greeks are already paying their bill. So shut the fuck up and ahve a nice day.Thank you.

@MrTepukki

have we ever cheated you or your country by any means?Please be more careful before posting such a insulting comment.

@MrTepukki

A little relevant story:

A little bee sat on the nose of a huge bull saying to him – I, a small little bee can kill your big ass with just a sting! What do you say about that;

And the bull said: I would say that you have some major inferiority complex issues to solve !!!

[lisemedini]

Ephkaristo poli,

Melina remains for ever a great, a beautiful actress, a wonderful singer and a genuine politician. She'll be always in our heart as well as Greece the country of freedom and wisdom.

[indiallovesmiami]

Melina, last of the Greek goddesses. Thank you for this tribute to her.

It does bother me, however, that you have posted a picture from Never On Sunday to represent Phaedra.

[Ilkamy]

Para poli orea tragoudi...

A wonderful song by a great & passionate woman!

Singer, actress, politician...

[FASHIONCONSPIRACY]

[salad1986]

το Τραγούδι μας είναι μοναδικό. όπως είχαν πει και για τον Χατζιδάκι, μπορούμε να πούμε και για τον Μίκη ''ότι ρούφηξε το μεδούλι της Ελλάδας και μας το έδωσε πάλι πίσω σε αθάνατη μουσική''...

[achilles1959]

Could you post the Greek lyrics, please?

[gyrene1966]

[Dougoulako]

It was the film which took me to Hydra - my spiritual home. Why isn't this film on DVD?

[adoutis]

yes ,why is this film ,based on the more than 2000 year old tragedy not available ? this is cultural inheritance of the first order !

[mydimle]

It's one of the best song I have ever heard! It reminds of so many beautiful things.

[radiosuomi]

fovero!!

[Mironario]

Woman.

[iloveshoesdoyou]

luv this film and the great orchestation during the controversial intimate scene with a.perkins............luv the foreign films of the 60's cherbourg, phaedra, darling...i could go on and on

[7855waldo]

Sung by the fiercest eyebrows ever seen.

[kebec1]

though this a great film, the music is even better. it think this is perhaps Theodorakis's most haunting melody.

[Cinders29]

She personifies sultry. Kind of "old fashioned" now. But what a strong, sexy, beautiful woman.
