[peligraso]

Rest in peace Kazantzidis, you're great sound gifted to our region... Greetings from Constantinople

[Rusticolus01]

Ποιός είναι αυτός ο λεβέντης που παίζει μπουζούκι, ξέρει κανείς;

[redpixel7000]

I dont understand a word of this song, but since I first heard this, I CAN NOT stop listening to it.

Beautiful.

I'm so happy I've now heard this....... Bravo

[Loukas1964]

@redpixel7000 "Efige..Efige" translates to "She left..She left"...basically the song is about a girl that left him and he's wondering all over the streets seeking to find her again..A brilliant song by brilliant singer......

[yasos69]

thier is only ONE Kazantzidi !!!!!!!!!!!!

[nomack8201]

@pearlyneuss the wire was where I first heard this song and it has spawned a new love for this genre of music.

[nomack8201]

So good I'm not Greek in the slightest but this is such a rich vibrant song.

[Ellatha1]

@nomack8201 You've just started my friend...so many Greek songs are rich and vibrant. And you don't have to be Greek to appreciate them! Yia Sou!

[PeaRLyNeuSs]

@nomack8201 I'll second that :)

And the only reason I knew it was a love song is because I heard

at some point " sagapo" (σαγαπω) meaning i love you :p That's about all I know in greek!

I heard this song watching "The Wire" (Ep 2x11) and loved it !! I had to look it up !

Thanks to @fanis for posting and @bpatient843 for the translation :)

[Ellatha1]

...And I almost forgot about "Oglan, Oglan" and the infamous "Siko Horepse Koukli Mou" which I always heard as "Tsifteteli Tourkiko." Brings back such great memories of Yiayia and Papou! May this music never be forgotten!

[Ellatha1]

I remember this song growing up!! My family is also from Mikra'asia (Asia Minor) but not the Pontus region. This man was an icon but I think he had a sorrowful life. I wish they weren't "lip-synching" this video though. Greek songs have such passion, whether good or bad & he found a way to translate that into his singing. May his memory be eternal.

[shexmus]

I wish I could speak Greek just so I could sing this song.

[VelzZzik]

Very nice song! respect

[enesbaby]

Cok Güzel!

[toshigkhn]

Thumbs up if Frank Sobotka brings you here with himself!

[britturk123]

Greek velvet voice simply magestic Turkish cypriots love this man too i remember back in the 70,s he would acompany every party.

[axedick]

"The wire" S02 send me here!!! good stuff :)

[satyrix1]

Ah the greeks ! great food great beaches....Desperate accountants

[1964Loukas]

@satyrix1 Most Greeks could not give a F**** about accountants....the government may be poor

because most people there just do not pay taxes but the people themselves are wealty in many ways....

[MasakadosMagatama]

@Beatz4Life96 Awesome, which song? He had the best music EVA!

[cygroltd]

To all idiots who say this song is Turkish.The song was written by: Music -Vasilis vasiliadis and Lyrics- Pythagoras. It featured in a Greek movie in1966.

The Turkish singer Turkan covered this song in 1970.

[necatisikici]

@cygroltd yeah maybe i only know the turkish version if i was heard this ,nice too ;)

[necatisikici]

@cygroltd but i like this

[nimrodlevy]

Kazatsidis is the greatest ever!

if my greek was good i would do research and write his life biography!

[necatisikici]

this is turkish copy :)

[cygroltd]

@necatisikici Yeah man everybody is copying everybody days Greek music in the 60's and 70's was influenced (they copied) by Indian Cinema music as well.What's the link for the turkish version ?

[earinos1]

What! you're crazy; The Turks took it away from us .!!!!

[earinos1]

@necatisikici What! you're crazy; The Turks took it away from us .!!!!

[BDDies]

Για όσους έχουν δεί το The wire,μία απο τις καλύτερες σειρές που έγιναν ποτέ, το κομμάτι αυτό έχει δέσει τέλεια στην ιστορία και την αφήγηση αυτής της μαφιόζικης σειράς γιατί είναι και στο τέλος της σαιζόν. Όπως λένε και οι Αμερικάνοι εδώ η δεύτερη σαιζόν ήταν ίσως η καλύτερη.

[IlijaSm]

Extremely good song! Sends chills up my spine!

[greekboyd1]

[TemerosoDeDios]

Parece música árabe... :S

[uzku]

@TemerosoDeDios es música mediterránea

[TemerosoDeDios]

@uzku Lo sé, el flamenco tiene un tóque árabe, también. Pero es que ésto parece totalmente de un país musulmán.

[uzku]

@TemerosoDeDios Hombre los griegos fueron invadidos por los otomanos, de ahí es de dónde probablemente venga la influencia que comentas

[scaredmonkey]

" and of course, im not even Greek "

[blackman4545]

frank is a rat he got what was commin

[SixOneCynic]

Stelios, an echo from another time we could never understand or experience....just....guess, always shrouded. listen.

[mgokhanb]

this song is also TURKISH

nesrin sipahi - duyduk duymadık demeyin

both of version good

[zarkovacsrbin]

red star

[plaidpirate]

I actually liked spiros until what he did to frank. :(

the wire has some of the best uses of music ever. this montage was one of the best scenes of the show.

[NewPricksOnTheBlock]

you gotta be a die hard fan of the wire to search this song up, i personally love Spiros, Sergei is okay too lmao

[WyattTheRiot]

@NewPricksOnTheBlock yeah or of stelios lol...but spiros is the man definitely

[alexerali]

30 años han pasado!! Pero por fin la tengo!

La amo, la amo y la amo, hoy estoy tan feliz!

[bpatient843]

I have a hot (piece of) iron in my heart Its your love that tortures me In my entire life I will have A burden on my conscience For (because of) the so many mistakes of mine That turned you away from me She left, she left, she left, I lost her And I have caught (taken) the streets I wake up from my sleep and I ask for you Now I understood how much I love you In my entire life I will have A burden on my conscience For (because of) the so many mistakes of mine That turned you away from me

[brokenmiind]

@bpatient843

THIS IS TRANSLATE OF THE SONG?

[mannitoujr]

Season 2

The Wire : )

[Tarikatlar]

been a fan for years, and when i heard it on the wire, it made my week! I just tuned into the wire, finished season 2, and started season 3, what a goof, should a be watching more? I got pissed, i am on episode 4 of se03... Dissapointed, i want it all to be like se02, with russians and, gangsters and not ploitical bull....

[fereng]

@Tarikatlar I understand your concern and i can say that no other season will be like season 2, but i liked season 4 very much as well. As for the greek mafia and russian gangster, they will turn up again...

[Bananarepublicboy]

Don't let the Greek people suffer.

The EU has to invest money in Greek.

Greek brought the Europeans civilization.

Isn't that worth 300 billion?

Payday.

And I'm not even Greek :O

[Tarikatlar]

@Bananarepublicboy lol

[franklinms22]

they should give them money just for this awesome song and the montage in the wire. thats good enough for me.

[teendude16]

We have this song. Thx.

[mamohato]

i love this man's music so much.

[Bananarepublicboy]

"And I'm not even Greek" :O... I was shocked!

George Pelecanos chose a very good song!

[Bananarepublicboy]

The 2nd season is my favorite season...

And I'm black :O Frank, Zig, Nick, Greek, String... too good

[nustita]

i love this song, it reminds me when I once lived in the Bronx.

I dance to this song all the time.

aka..Davika

[serb3]

i love this song, what is he singing about?

-cheers from Serbia!

[pipenissen]

He is singing about a girl that left him.

I dont know greek, only that Efige means "she left". probably a sad song, but i like it :-)

[samboragal87]

a lot of this singer's songs speak of pain, loss and heartache, which during difficult economic times, so many greeks found common ground with stelios and loved his music. even in his death, he connects with people.

[tenceredibiciler]

selam olsun ordulu hemşehrime ! ruhun şaad ola

[DieserBenuterIstCool]

O KALYTEROS TRAGOYSTHS THS ISTORIAS

[tinpotintellect]

Poor Frank,he tried didn`t he? All Ziggys fault

[sterlingveil]

Actually, if it weren't for Ziggy's recklessness the Greek's wouldn't even have given Frank a chance to live. The only reason they were willing to give Frank a chance is because they had leverage over him through Ziggy. Without that leverage they would have had no assurances of Frank's loyalty and would have killed him just to be 100% sure he wouldn't talk.

[Takerdeadman90]

@sterlingveil who the hell is frank?

[sterlingveil]

@Takerdeadman90 Frank Sobotka.  From the Wire.

And, it makes me think of this beautiful Greek girl my ex knew.

[MindsEyeFunk]

Look at that woman dancing so merrily to this song when all this song makes me think of is the decline of working men's power and of walking off into the rainy afternoon and getting killed by some mobsters lol.

[PERSIANSOLDIER75]
