To video clip tou tragoudiou (video clip)
Music: Loreena McKennitt
Lyrics: Haris Alexiou

The music (Tango to Evora) is composed by Loreena MacKenitt.
Haris Alexiou is the first who has written lyrics and made this melody a song (MacKenitt used to sing vocalisms).
When Alexiou heard this melody, asked from MacKenitt the permission to add the lyrics she wrote and so, this great song was born!
The song was firstly recorded by Alexiou in 1996.

the lyrics (both in Greek and English):
Το τανγκό της Νεφέλης

Το χρυσό κουρέλι
που στα μαλλιά της, φόραγε η Νεφέλη
να ξεχωρίζει απ΄ όλους μες στ΄ αμπέλι
ήρθανε δυο μικροί- μικροί αγγέλοι
και το κλέψανε

Δυό μικροί αγγέλοι
που στα όνειρα τους, θέλαν τη Νεφέλη
να την ταΐζουνε ρόδι και μέλι
να μην θυμάται, να ξεχνάει τι θέλει,
την πλανέψανε

Υάκινθοι και κρίνα
της κλέψαν τ΄ άρωμα και το φοράνε
κι οι έρωτες πετώντας σαϊτιές
την περιγελούν

Μα ο καλός ο Δίας
της παίρνει το νερό της εφηβείας
την κάνει σύννεφο και την σκορπά
για να μην την βρουν.

The golden ribbons
In Nefeli's hair she wore
To stand out from the others in the vineyard.
Along came two boy angels
They stole them from her.

The two boy angels
Dreamt of feeding Nefeli
With pomegranates and honey
To cloud her memory, to forget what she wants,
They tempted her away.

Her perfume of Hyacinths and lilies
They stole and wore it themselves.
The gods of love fired arrows
They bewildered her.

But the kindly God Zeus
Takes from her the water of youth
He turns her to cloud and scatters her around
So they cannot find her.

  • Όταν ήμουν μικρός νόμιζα ότι έλεγε το τραγούδι "το χυσοκουρέλι" και πως μίλαγε για κάποια πόρνη! Πάντως είναι ωραίο τραγουδάκι.

  • HARIS ALEXIOU & SEZEN AKSU - LOVE FROM TURKEY <3

    SONS OF THE SAME SEA, NOT THE HISTORY!!

    caddelerde rüzgar, aklımda aşk var

    gece yarısında, sessiz yağmurlar

    özlediğim şimdi. çok uzaklarda.

    o da özlüyormuş, benim bir tanem

    çok üşüyormuş, ben olmayınca

    öyle yazıyor, son mektubunda.
