(sent by YT user/Kirkh70)
Title:
"Because I did not comply"...

Lyrics: Mikis Theodorakis
Music: Mikis Theodorakis
First performance: Mikis Theodorakis

Because I didn't comply with the recommendations

Beyond the blue wave, the blue sky
A mother is waiting, years now, in order to see her ...

Because I didn't comply with the recommendations

Year in, year out, I walk on the wire
There will pass black days without seeing you again

Allicarnasus, Partheni, Horopos, Koridallos
The gallant man is expecting the Light of Liberty

*
Note from YT user/nikolaos333:
Allicarnasus, Partheni, Horopos, Koridallos, were places of exile (1967-1974) in Greece.

Lyrics in Greek (from: http://stixoi.info/)
Στίχοι: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης
Μουσική: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης

"Διότι δεν συνεμορφώθην "

Διότι δεν συνεμορφώθην προς τας υποδείξεις.

Πέρα από το γαλάζιο κύμα, το γαλάζιο ουρανό
μια μανούλα περιμένει χρόνια τώρα να τη δω.

Διότι δεν συνεμορφώθην προς τας υποδείξεις.

Χρόνος μπαίνει, χρόνος βγαίνει, μες στο σύρμα περπατώ
θα περάσουν μαύρες μέρες δίχως να σε ξαναδώ.

Διότι δεν συνεμορφώθην προς τας υποδείξεις.

Αλικαρνασσός, Παρθένι, Ωρωπός, Κορυδαλλός
ο λεβέντης περιμένει της ελευθεριάς το φως.

Διότι δεν συνεμορφώθην προς τας υποδείξεις.

Beautiful!! And such an infectious rhythm and concept. Thank you for the English lyrics "...the light of liberty." I'm clappin' my hands from Seattle, Washington. ;-)

[FondOfGreek]

Excellent!!

This is exactly the idea behind the video: everywhere on the world clapping hands, and yes, it is an infectious rhythm!

Mikis Theodorakis' music has always a special impact on the soul, with sometimes even deeply felt emotions, unfolding all facets of our deepest Self.

[Tetrafonia]

WOW !!! Where have you find it from!!!

I also clap hands AND for your capabilities !!!

YOU GET 10**********

thanks.

[FondOfGreek]

Your really wonderful energizing words make my heart beating for joy on the rhythm of the clapping hands..... :):):)

If this happens with everybody on the world, then the world is coming into one beautiful rhythm, in a unique timeless being united with all peoples. There would be oneness, wholeness, a healed world, and this would create a new universe, on earth, as a completed part of the Universe.

Once it will be as Beethoven's ninth symphony foretells....

Thank you, dear friend.
