These are from a Liberty label 78 rpm record. Don't know what the song is or who the artist is, but the music is good.
A helpful YouTube member has provided the following translations:
The Composer and Singer of the song is Nikos Gounaris.
The title "Den mporo na kleiso mati" can not be directly translated in english. "I can't close my eyes" or better "I can't sleep" would be the proper translation.
The second song is also Composer/Singer: Nikos Gounaris and the title" Pente Xronia perasan" is "Five years have passed"
Thank you!

Reminds me of a time, when my parents were together and playing records on their old 78 & LP player. What a beautiful sense of melody and beautiful lyrics.
