[katerinapepe]

[Fekixem]

Still so beautiful and powerful after all these years...

LOVE for Plaid...

[GYJones]

If you can get through listening to this track without being utterly moved then you may have died without knowing it.

[makeupspy]

σ'αγαπω γιατι εισαι εσυ

[kinzeUK]

This is delovely :)

[thrillseeker70]

Lie still my beating heart.

[CHROMATICFILMS]

Really are those the lyrics? My cat writes better lyrics than that!

I mean "i love you because it's you" sounds like a pathetic cop out from some girl with commitment issues trying to get a shag. its like saying I really like you because you are nice, i.e devoid of any actual descriptive, specific or even poetic meaning.

[ytresfield]

Thanks for all these artists for generating such a beauty. From 3.10 this music just kills me off.

[xinjinbei]

I've read in an interview with Mara Carlyle (the one who sings here) that she's married to one of the dudes from Plaid.

[bsoglobal]

[laertis333]

one of the most amazing remixes (if you good say that...) of the greek traditional song of the Aegean islands..! brilliant!

[vancambridge]

rakija is old serbian drink

[bir90]

raki is in albanian not greek..its an alcohol beverage like vodka but stronger

[HumanworkshopRecords]

@bir90 You must be albanian? :) Raki is a beverage from balkan/eastern European countries and Turkey. And yes also in greece. Traitionally brewed at home.

its nice and tastes like anise

[iewiehhw]

My ouzo lol

[zartic4life]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[scroadershow]

fuckin tune!

[norway003]

The.Superb.

[sfinono]

and for those who don't understand the Greek lyrics,

"Sagapo giati ise orea, sagapo giati ise esi"

I Love you, because you are beautiful, i love you, because it's you.

[WoundedKite]

wow thanks sfinono! and i assume "rakimou" is a greek word too, what does it mean?

[sfinono]

Yes it is. Raki is a word for alcohol drink like Ouzo.

Mou is mine. So itslike my ouzo!

Amazing track, ideed.

[JimmyGr90]

@sfinono hehe to akouga kai mou ekane ekpliksi.. pws kai xrisimopoihsan elliniko stixo?

[sfinono]

@JimmyGr90 Den exw idea!

[kritikosthrilos]

@JimmyGr90 Αν μπεις πολυ μεσα στις μουσικες σκηνες ξενων χωρων θα δεις κ αλλα παρομοια περιστατικα. Χαρακτηριστικο παραδειγμα που λογικα θα γνωριζεις ο Dick Dale που διασκευασε το Μισιρλου (Αν εχεις δει το Pulp Fiction ή εχεις ακουσει το Pump It θα καταλαβεις ;))

[JimmyGr90]

@kritikosthrilos ναι το εχω δει, παρ᾽ολα αυτα δεν ηξερα οτι ηταν αρχικα ελληνικο.. φοβερο!

[Multiwiis]

@sfinono or anybody!!

does anybody know the name of the greek original or at least how to spell the phrase in Greek?

or any link to the traditional version of the song (if any)?

[ridedeus]

@Multiwiis 

[graffslik]

@Multiwiis song is called "Σ' αγαπώ γιατί είσ' ωραία" and it's been performed by various artists

[Alexiamusictrip]

@Multiwiis hallo!This is the link of the original song. It is traditional greek song and through the years it is performed by various greek artists. I think this is quite nice live of the original song.

Its a song which speaks about love.

This remix on plaid album is great! Although i think it would be a musical challenge if the voice was from a traditional greek singer. It has a lot of difference. :-)

[Alexiamusictrip]

sorry i cant upload the link :-(((

[sfinono]

amazing

[thechemist01]

Love this tune !!!

[elektrorelax]

I die all time when i listen that.

[humpsicle]
