-----------------------------------
Tu es parti un jour de mai, mon fils; je t'ai perdu en ce printemps que tu aimais tant.
Tu étais monté sur la terrasse et buvais avidement de tes yeux la lumière cosmique.
De ta belle voix masculine, tu me parlais du vaste monde et tu me promettais qu'un jour il nous appartiendrait à tous deux.
Mais maintenant tu t'es éteint et ma lumière s'est éteinte aussi.
-------------------------------------
You went away on a day of May, my son; I lost you in the spring which you loved so much.
You went up on to the terrace and greedily drank the cosmical light with you eyes.
You told me about the great world in your sweet manly voice, and you promised me that one day it would belong to both of us.
But now you have been extinguished, and my light has extinguished too.

WONDROUS!!!!

Just one word but it says it all. From the clips you have posted I understand you are from greek origin? So this song certainly has a lot of meaning for you! You might be interested in another song (always by this great singer) I have posted today.

[italianoperafan]

Excellent suggestion... I have posted the song you mention. I guess this was released on CD but this is from the original good old LP :)

Superb !

@italianoperafan Questto non è belcanto da cantare in tecnica operistica! Con l'oboe al posto del bouzouki! Ci vorrebbe una legge per impedire ai cantanti lirici di conciare a questo modo la musica leggera. Più umiltà e meno ostentazione dei mezzi vocali. Mezzosoprano per mezzosoprano, confrontate questo numero con la sobrietà della Zoi

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to find the sheet music for this and a few other songs on this CD. Does anyone know where I could get a copy???
