[macedongreek]

@Lauramariesongs

You shouldn't come to Greece. You MUST come to Greece!

I 've already sent your video to many greek blogs and many people have watched it with great joy, throughout Thrace, Peloponnese, Macedonia, Thessaly, Epirus, Cyprus and islands!

[Lauramariesongs]

@macedongreek Wow, thanks for sharing my video! Wow! :D I really appreciate it!

[macedongreek]

@Lauramariesongs

Why not make another "greek try"? E.g. one of my favorite traditional songs,

"Απάνω στην τριανταφυλλιά".  The user "theosgg" has uploaded. It's name is "Apano stin triandafilia" ("on the rose") and it comes from the region of Macedonia. Hope you enjoy it and I am willing to give you the lyrics in both greek and english...

[macedongreek]

@Lauramariesongs

"Would Greece like that?" You shouldn't ask about it!

[giaagi]

"Greek people are so lucky to have this as one of their songs". and your parents are so lucky to have a daughter like you!!! what can anybody say, you sing great, your greek sounds perfect, nobody could sing this better! thank you for sharing this with us! i've heard it many times, again and again. :)

[Lauramariesongs]

@giaagi Awe, thanks so much....just when I feel that my music might not be heard in the world, I get sweet comments like this that make me know otherwise. :) I love to use my passion of languages and music together and get reactions like yours....thank you!

[giaagi]

@Lauramariesongs You know that this is not really a song but actually it's carols, right? The children sing this on Crist's baptize's eve (I hope you understand what I wanded to tell. I couldn't find the right expression). Do you know the meaning of these words? Did you find a translation?

[Lauramariesongs]

@giaagi Thanks so much. :) Yes, someone told me about this song a little bit. I have a Greek friend who told me what the words mean...I cannot remember most of it now, but something about Christ and light. :)

[KidVas1018]

Gorgeous version.. Love and respect from this Greek fellow...

[CuBaSe1988]

Where do you come from?

[Lauramariesongs]

@CuBaSe1988 I am from The USA. :)

1 (en) Today is the Epiphany and the lights And great joy and blessing! By the river Jordan Is our Virgin Mary, our Lady. Good morning, good evening, Good morning, our Master and our Lady! 2 (en) He holds an instrument, He has a candle And He begs Saint John "Saint John master and Baptist, Please baptize me too; who I am God's child, To climb up heaves And harvest roses and aromas!"

[macedongreek]

I made a small effort to translate it in english. Of course, there are originally many more verses, not present here. This is a traditional Greek carol, chanted one day before the Epiphany, which is a great feast for Orthodox Christianity. The chanters used to be young children, especially at the regions of Thessalia and Macedonia. Its a really lovely song and I am grateful to you, for having offered it to all of us, Lauramarie! How about singing its English translation also?!

[luckybutterfly2]

I don't have a clue as to what the song is actually saying, but it is beautiful :)

[jazzoramaz]

grreat try ...keep on rolling

[voice3tausend]

It's wonderful... Did you sing this under the christmas tree? ^^

Hope you had a nice christmas! Wish you all the best for 2010!

[MrLeoV]

Yes, this song is very nice as well!

I found some lyrics as I searched for

Shmera Ta Fwta - Σήμερα τα φώτα

- then under "more info".

Translation possible by Google Language Tools. :-)

[cbrb40]

It's so beautiful that you know all these languages for songs and can sing in them! That's a wonderful gift to have sweet Lauramarie! :)) Even if you can't speak Greek you sing it so beautifully. :)) I love how you add the harmonies too. :)) It's a beautiful cool sounding song! :)) Loved it!

[jabbamp]
