"From Tahrir Square to Syntagma Square, we support you!" Road To Taxim Square

[chrisg7721]

Vassili, you have stolen our hearts with your enourmous talent!! Keep the music playing...don't ever stop! 

[frisco0077]

ζιτω C.O.T.R.....και ευχαριστω παρα πολυ για το upload

[arabwomanblues]

I love this song a good fusion of many rhythms. But I heard some of the lyrics. There is a genocide in Iraq and I don't really care about your american troops. We have been bombed into oblivion with nuclear waste running in our bloodstream. Still It's a good song. But for peace to be achieved there must be JUSTICE.

[mariaxeniaallen]

@arabwomanblues Dear: Justice will come AFTER peace. Peace does not begin with politicians; it begins in the heart of the individual: with humility, love and self-less actions. I wish that you did care about the Americans there, as that was not their choice but their duty, as commanded by The President. We bleed & die just like you. How many of his own people did Sadam Hussein kill? I salute all who have sacrificed during this Arab Spring for their courage in choosing THEIR OWN COURSES. Amen

[eslater8]

[AthenaionPolis]

Never shall we live in chains!!

[AthenaionPolis]

Translation of Greek Lyrics:

"I look in the eyes of our ancient foes, I see darkness and our children dying, I cant find the end, a way or hope but I hold my luck in my hands.

The children of the defense, lit up a fire again..another string strum in place and they'll find a way to demolish darkness..To your health ,FREEDOM"

[homeboystevea]

Rembetiko lite . . .

[maggesgreek]

This is making me sick...being a purist at heart, it's bastardized the original version from the early 1900's, even the lyrics are off...Xarhakos version in the movie "Rembetiko" back in 1983 is FAR better...and the English singing is gonna make me hurl...

[Siriusastir]

Fucking GREAT video!!!

Well done guys!!!

[EUROMANLU]

My heart sings and sings that such wonderful young people do this so well, and that takes time and commitment.

Just think, they could be realtors, lawyers or in the military, or the press or professors supporting it.

[savvasfec]

great group!!!

[CyprusHot]

who are they?

[disobedient1968]

Amazing band!!!

[anns36]

That´s great, thanks

[aposperitis]

i have the original song and lyrics my friend,i know,but thanks anyway...i just need these lyrics

[VoriosIpiros]

The lyrics are different from the Stavros Xarharkos one from the movie Rebetika 'ta paidia tis aminas', which celebrates the attempts to overthrow the monarchy. The original is actually very creepy in parts- 'trexei sto potami to aima tou exthrou' - the rivers will run with the blood of the enemy. Awesome idea to take the original tune which is very revolutionary sounding and repurposing it! VERY NICE! Bravo paidia.

[COTRmusic]

Thanks. Yeah, the old lyrics are a bit, umm, warlike. I tried to make these a bit more uplifting.

V

[ObiWanandOnly]

Really great music!!!I love this sound!! My friend and I found this video and I was like " Yeah thats a great sound!!!" Will you play ever in Germany???

[COTRmusic]

Hope so. I speak German, or used to, and would love to do some shows in Deutchland..

V

[ObiWanandOnly]

That would be great! Are you le leadsinger of the Group? And where did you lern German?I speak Greek,Spanish an a little bit French, too...

Do you planed any concert in Germany?

[aposperitis]

pls someone send me the lyrics if u know

[aposperitis]

haha yes maybe just a lil bit ;)

[aposperitis]

oh well....now i remember why this song was familiar...of course the movie Rempetiko !!!  and cotr merhaba is ok but and merhaba to u,too but nasesen? i guess u wanted to say nasilsin...

[COTRmusic]

Hmm, guess we should work on our Turkish... But at least it was close

[Menelas74]

very good

[aposperitis]

regards from Turkey...i loved the band and he's right..we have to sing together and live together...peace to all

[COTRmusic]
