  • Kara=Black

    gun=day

    so in turkish this means the blackday dance

  • @kalimerhaba1 thank you for your comment and "Merhaba' to you too:). Although "Kara" is black, it also means "Dark" as in having a "Bad day". Since this song is about a woman falling into a well "Bad day" is probably the right translation in this case.

  • what means "kara" in english?

  • @uluatilla "Dark" or "Black"

  • Love the dance and Song - wrong commentary thou. And the dance in this video clip is all choreography! This is not the way the dance is danced by the Karagounides in Thessaly!

  • @MrGreekdancer Thank you for watching! Yes, it is a choreography and I am only the videographer here. You are welcome to come by and show us the original dance when and if you are ever over here in Birmingham, Alabama!

  • @tobeortube i found the native lyrics:

    Ai Gounam, Ai Gounam, Ai Gounam, Karagounam.

  • @tobeortube Yes i have ment that having a "Bad day"

    in turkish there is an expression called "Kara Sevda" means near by the same a love wich is unreachable

  • @tobeortube no thats gerakina

  • I live in Birmingham & have participated with the dance part of the festival many years ago. This is not really a karagouna so I don't know why they called it that. This is just a choreographed routine for the festival patrons. We will soon start a Hellenic Dance Program to teach authentic dances with authentic music & costumes so maybe next year we will see something more accurate.

  • I always thought karagouna was a dance that meant "sexy legs". Where am I going wrong here?

  • ..Η ΚΑΡΑΓΚΟΥΝΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΚΗ...
