[imekapoios]

<3

[moraki4u]

THE BEST SONG OF CYPRUS!!!

[iosulere]

jajajajaj CAMELA

[ISOBITHS]

@TheMartielover It means joy, happiness! Χαρά..

[ISOBITHS]

This should the best song with which Cyprus participated in Eurorvision! ! ! Also it is a proof that a good song is always a good song no matter in which language is sang. 14 years after still sounds good!!! Bravo bravo bravo!

[TheDRMISTERY]

That's wonderful entry but without this childish choreography it would be even higher.

[4wastedyears]

nice song!

[charrou4893]

unfortunately we haven't got any neighbors!

[blueskiesmp]

@charrou4893 Hey we love you in England :o) (and im a quarter greek, so i guess i love you for that reason too! lol)

[ransmyr]

En av dom bästa eurovisionlåtarna nånsin!

[lefty087]

one of the best song cyprus sent to eurovision! <3

[josephbrockdorff]

It deserved a Top 3 place , along with

Italy , Estonia and I put even Malta in it . That was an incredibile year and to think they made the rubbish songs to take 1st & 2nd place .... ! Unbelievable

A really strange contest with the juries nuts , blind and deaf at one time ;-)

No wonder Italy refused to go on and helled ' em all !!

[antonete12]

it deserved the 5th place. that year was incredible!

[verkaforever]

@antonete12 It deserved to win!

[whitemagick4]

ate me to kalon na men 3anaparomen traouin eisthn eurovision! ws to 2009 kanei!!

[crazyescfan]

should have been at least second...if not first

[verkaforever]

@crazyescfan I agree. Best song that year in my opinion. It was a strong year, but if I had to choose a favourite I would choose this.

[sergeysleep]

@crazyescfan second after Turkey, sure :)

best song ever from Cyprus 12 punten, 12 points, 12 punte from Holland

[diochris31]

kostas373. listen. we are greeks. yes we have our own intependent country but our nation is greek. and dont tell me to shut up. we love cyprus but greece is our mother land. zito i ellas.

[wencelj]

comme on guys. am czech and I love both Greece and Cyprus. All the people were very nice to me during my holiday in Greece and in Cyprus.

We all are europeans! :-)

[kostas373]

i never said that i hate greece!! i love greek history and culture much more than the cypriot one!! i just hate all those cypriots who keep on saying that cyprus is greek without giving any arguments for their opinion!

[MissSunniva]

One of my favorite songs, but I don't understand a word. Can anyone tell me what this song is about? And what does "mana mou" means?

[Scotsman876]

Mana Mou means Motherland

[artizeneli]

Word by word "mana mou" means my mother...but the song is about the country so here takes the meaning of motherland

[mktuag]

Nice song, I still rather Aspo mavro :) and Evridiki entries

[manderas]

great song ! one of the best of cyrpus along with 1995-1992-1994 ..cyprus was robbed many times!

12pts from Belgium

[MrEurovisionTurkey]

The best Cypriot entry ever

[YANNIS28]

Great song from the GREEK island of cyprus!well done!

[kostas373]

it's not greek since it does NOT belong to greece...

[kzbxvz]

Cyprus best song ever in the ESC, I love it!!

[se02da2]

perfect

[gottis]

This and Turkey's were the best songs this year, I think. ^^ We (Sweden) sucked. A lot. -_-

[XPooh3r]

Russia sucked more:(

[codrodcm]

great song.....i remember cyprus and turkey really turned it around this year....this was a great opener...na ma na ma na....

[Irshaad1337]

12 points from The Netherlands

[rafko30]

This is one of my best eurovision entry's. 12 points from Poland ;)

[diochris31]

to all you turks. the day will come. cyprus is greek. the only thing that i think about you all is your football. very good. oh and we are not brothers

[yanniz4eva]

cyprus is not greek, i dont even know why afroditi is classed as a GREEk when she is just a cypriot.anyway even if cyprus was GREEK, tough luck because its not greek anymore, muaxaxaxax its cypriot. greece realli wants to get as much as their land back like macedonia aswell.bwaxaxxaxaxax

[diochris31]

she was a greek goddes in mythology . zito i ellas. barbarians

[kostas373]

cyprus is NOT greek and i dont really know why you would start talking about this here... so cut it out!

[moraki4u]

eisai kai kiprios?? mathe istoria fucking

[Xatzigiannua]

ok... to get over with this situation... cyprus IS greek!! get over it and get a life

[kostas373]

ofc... just saying something w/o giving any arguments just shows how much you know about something so just dont speak if you have something pointless to say...

[alpergulerrr]

Türk olduğum için değil ama Şebnem Paker'in "Dinle" şarkısı daha iyi idi.

[FoxDotNL]

Pity the ESC has never reached the top level of 1997 again. Along with Italy, Turkey and Slovenia, this song of Cyprus are in the top of best ESC songs ever!

[ixwr82]

Well done our brothers Cypriots! The title means "My mother". And mother is Greece, which unites us! Our brothers, you have suffered so much but vindication is near!!!!Axe for the barbarians!!!!

[kostas373]

nice joke! but it's definitely not greece... if it was about greece the title would have been "my neighbour" or sth... but certainly nothing like my mother or sister...

[ixwr82]

If it was not Greece, why isn't there a cypriot national anthem? If you had looked up an encyclopaedia, you should know that Cyprus has the Greek national Anthem and all Cypriots the greek flag!!!

[kostas373]

you know... im cypriot! and i know that we use your national anthem (although i still don't know why). we dont have your flag though! only a certain percentage of people here have it and use it and i think that this way they show that they are not proud of their own country!

[HHcorporal]

if you don't know why Cypriots use their national anthem, their flag and their language (of course their = Greek) you should look up an encyclopaedia. Historical ignorance is not forgiven! Anyway, you belong to a very tiny minority and all democtatic people behave the minorities...

[kostas373]

i dont think it's a minority if the president elected is from our political party... our civilisation is influenced by yours and of course i don't ignore it! but when cyprus was offered to you, you just didn't care! if you don't want us, we dont want u either and cyprus is an independent country which does not need her "mother"...

thank you for this video !

I've seen it live on Eurovision and its pretty cool to see it again. really thax, i like these greek guys

[kostas373]

they are cypriots... btw i really liked your entry this year! you should have made it to the final at least...

[diyarspor]

Birşeyler oldu, birileri sinsice girdi aramıza... Devleti öyle bir bozdular ki, çok sinsi ve zalimce, haince ! Derlen kültür erozyonuna uğrattılar bizi ve derken batının yaşam tarzını en ideal en uygun yaşam dinamiği gibi gösterdiler. Öyle ki, dinden bahsedildikçe bu yurdun insanları irkilir oldu. Sanki dersin ilkel birşey anlatılıyor onlara, sanki dersin ortaçağ karanlığı... HAYIR, gerçek asla böyle değil !

[diyarspor]

Ne hale geldik ? İslamın temsilcilerinin torunları bugün bu ulusların yaşam tarzını taklit eder hale geldi ! Hani biz insanların en hayırlılarıydık, hani biz Kur'an yolunun adamlarıydık ?

[diyarspor]

Hey gidi Osmanlı, der miydin tabiyetindeki uluslar birgün gelecek sana ve yeni neslin Türkiye'ye düşman olacak ?

İnsanlara doğru yolu gösteren insanların islam devleti Osmanlı, insanların en hayırlısı olan müminleri bir zamanlar imparatorluğunda barındıran Osmanlı !

[diyarspor]

The Turkish Soldiers are very very merciful.

Turkey are a good government. There is no problem in the Cyprus.

[AfroditiM]

**Reply to lyoizisi**

[lyoizisi]

who is ignorant? me?greeks are the best, the most beautiful, the most, the most....is not for you ? ha? this world only for you.typical imperialist sights...cyprus are cypriots(greeks-turks) don't forget raping to died turks by fascist idiot fuck-head EOKA's.

Greeks are selfish or in greek "egoist" and miserable.come and making we philosophy(philo-sophia greek:love+knowledge):

expression of Cyprus Republic is true but South Cyprus is REAL-FACT... İS NOT dear neighbour?

[AfroditiM]

please retype ur reply in PROPER ENGLISH cause i got a headache trying to understand what u wrote..and Cyprus is Greek it belongs to the Greek CYPRIOTS..by "stealing" half of it doesnt make it urs! oh and it's egoistes re in Greek not egoist

[lyoizisi]

mmm ... sorry for my english.'cause of i don't know english darling neighbour :)

[Marcobadotii]

One of the best cyprus entries...why is there a fucking mongol turk always commenting on every single greek video clip...fuck off back to mongolia, get out of europe! who gave the money to the fucking turk to buy a pc and post comments? cyprus was greek when you were still in the mongolian steppes, is greek, and will be greek forever

[BoyJunkie87]

Ah the good old sound of racism. Wanker.

[ctsouri]

the best song we ve ever sent

[3dd13ab3l]

I used to live on Cyprus and, in my opinion, this was the best Cypriot Eurovision entry. As I recall it came in 5th; well deserved and much better than Thane Erotas from a couple of years later that got everyone all upset because of its poor showing.

[Qu3enD]

cyprUs belongs to us!!

we are GREEK.. and NOT Turkish!!

[madrileno]

GENIAL

[komuse]

Good blend of tradional and modern. Try and sing the fast bit, it´s fun.

[stefanoustefan]

Excellent song

[lyoizisi]

wonderfull South Cyprus song.

[lemoniavissi]

fuck OFF south cyprus!!!

its CYPRUS

and its

ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED.

[lyoizisi]

Yes barbaric Christian Cypriot.Cyprus is a Islamic-Turkish land.

[lemoniavissi]

Fuck you and your race. u spastic!

[lyoizisi]

idiot GAYreek.This song is South Cyprus's.

[AfroditiM]

so why do they sing in GREEK and not turkish????

[ctsouri]

idiot turkish shit, Cyprus belongs to cypriots, tuksgays should just get their asses out of our island.

[AfroditiM]

what in the world are you talking about???? but of course turkish people think that EVERYTHING is theirs!! haha right!!Cyprus is not turkish it has always been Greek and the fact that the turks invaded Cyprus in 1974 doesnt make it turkish..you are sooo ignorant my friend

[dutifri]

Estos me marcaron la infancia, qué pasada de actuación por favor, es cateto el de la bandurria pero me ponía bien cerda

[Rolpet]

one of the best entty from cyprus, still love this song

[markusprusus]

Cypriot women always have strange dreses, Evridiki too :)

[woodlandguy76]

Marvellous entry, that mixes ethnic and modern sound! Good work Cyprus!

(And I´m swedish...;)

[corazondetiza82]

Great song!! I love it.

[1776fan]

I also love this song. It fully deserved to score Cyprus' best placing up to that time. The melody is very pleasant.

[DECS6910]

J'ai redécouvert cette sublime chanson et je l'écoute en boucle, elle est originale et la mélodie est très envoutante, chypre méritait un meilleur classement mais la performance reste somptueuse, bravo!!!!!

[anucha7241]

the song is very good and oryginal :)

[tommys727]

I'm Cypriot and I absolutely hated this song! Still do! The performance on the scene was lame to say the least and the guy with the baglamas is simply a joke! How on earth we managed to end in 5th place I'll never know!

[Irshaad1337]

This song was awsome for people who don't understand this language, so they judge on the rythm, rythm was nice, the singers where happy and put feelings in what they sang, so its obvious this song would score high.

[coljaz]

Don't be so harsh on it! I'm English and this, along with Eimai Anthropos Ki Ego, is my favourite Cyprus song. A lot of people all over Europe obviously liked it, and don't forget they had to perform first, which is never easy in Eurovision.

[Jambi79]

With losers like u psoting comments like that...no wonder we can never win....

[tommys727]

You sound like a person whose whole purpose in life is to try and see Cyprus win the Eurovision-get over it and get a life!

[multimediaperson]

LOOOOL! I'm not from Cyprus and I loved the song. On the other hand, I was 16 at the time. It sounds a little cheesy, but I like it. I like the instrument.

[GertfromNL]

I completely disagree. Best Cypriotic entry to date. An original, catchy, TYPICAL mediterrenean, up-tempo song. Together with Cyprus 1981, Cyprus 1982 and Cyprus 1987 one of the best Cypriotic attempts. 12 points from Holland.

[soulester83]

Poor song, hardly catchy and how did it finish 5th that year!

[azucarmoreno]

Are you serious?? This was probably one of the only songs with rhythm that year. better than that shite from turkey.

[Jambi79]

They caught a taxi and they ened up 5th...Get a life

[ma22gga22]

The first time i' ve heard this song i thought it was the song that had won. I believe it's one of the most beautiful songs in the history of this competition. What a melodie combined with the greek Language. Excellent

[setheurovision94]

I immediately fell in love with this song on the night. Just so snappy and rich-sounding, with the spine-tingling 'dum-dumma-dumma-dum' climax. A great moment for Cyprus in the contest - they generally never fail.

[thundercat8]

Dum dubba dum dubba dum dubba dum ... best lyrics in Eurovision history!

[ErdalYildizFan]

Oh yeah - that rocks! It`s such a good song - i like it more than "Love shine a light"!

[karagozlum1988]

the music is very good

[MADAMBOVARY]

one of the most competitive years.winner was great,turkey's dinle(3th place) and this(5th) should have been runner up.

[Mazwild]

Love this song, great entry.

[flurble]

I hate the 1997 contest, well about 80% of the songs (including the wiiner), this is one of the good ones... might have done better in the early noughties ethnopop boom!

[fkfj16]

LOOOOOL - sorry that comment made me laugh

The 97 contest wasnt too bad... if anythin the 2000 contest was boring.

[diminame]

the real winner of 1997, where is the time, my god, now in 2006, the song contest is a carnaval

[Dandi10]

I love that one! Such a beautiful, sweet, lovely song. Brings me very sweet memories from my time as a student in the city of Freiburg, Germany.

[taps7777]

hehehe you started to give us your momories , this is cool though

yes the song brings me memory of me staying late night waching eurovision

[taps7777]

this is very nice song too

and the combination on the end is the best part

[flurble]

Way better than 'Love Shine A Light' (and I'm a Brit)

[erbland2006]

COOL SONG!!!! The 1997 Eurovision was one of the best ones I can remember.

Dum-dum-a-dum-a-dum-dum-a-dum-­a-dum....

[sadjonny]

Oh boy, that part gives me goosebumps... Sweet memories! Immediately became my favourite.

[IceCrystall]

One of my favoritues this year :D

[visjoner]

should have won!

[adas1987]

nice song
