Mikis Theodorakis in East Berlin 1987: 17 itan 18 noemvri- Yelasto Pedi

Itan 18 Noemvri (it was the 18th of november and To Yelasto Pedi ( the smiling boy) from the cycle Enas Omiros (the Hostage) lyrics by Brendan Behan, translation Vasilis Rotas. Bouzouki Kostas Papadopoulos

Not long before the fall of the Berlin Wall Theodorakis gave an open-air concert on the Rosa Luxemburgplatz in the East German part of the city. This vcr recording was made in West Berlin and is in black and white due to the difference in tv systems between the two germanies (or so I have been told) An historic piece of "Ostalgie"

Ήταν 18 Νοέμβρη

πέρα στο Μακρούν μπροστά

φτάσαν ταχτικοί χακένιοι

με τα μεταγωγικά

Τα παιδιά τούς καρτερούσαν

του στρατού λαΐκού

και ξμε τις χειροβομβίδες

τούς εκάμαν τ'αλατιού
