George Dalaras- Agrigento

This video is taken from a tv show called "Avlea" broadcasted christmas time 1994.
I want to thank my dear friend Yiannis from Greece who provided me with this rare DVD show.
I also want to thank Mr Angelo Raphael our Greek mentor in Israel for his endless assistance and support for the translation of this song and so many other songs.

Agrigento*

Music: Giorgos Zikas
Lyrics: Giorgos Zikas
Performance: Giorgos Dalaras
Album: Kalos Tous-Welcome ,1994

The love flees, hides under the snow
Runs to survive the fires
The fires that haunt it for years
Are they ours, foreign or old ?

And they leave us stranded
In ruined streets
As castaways in the wrath of burning

Humanity's tenacity for years long
Crusts and opens deeper wounds
In Agrigento I was deviously rejected
In Syracuse are stealing hearts.

*Is a city on the southern coast of Sicily, Italy.It is renowned as Greek ancient colony Akragas built 6th century BC.The melodie of the region is reflected in the song.

Sara, thank you so much for posting all the rare Dalaras. He does some beautiful Hebrew and Spanish as well. Greek-Jewish Israelis just adore Dalaras, because we speak Judeo-Espanol, and his Spanish is so beautiful to listen to. We also have Cuban-Jewish friends and his song Luna Rosa, set in Cuba is great. Take all the politics out, I love the Che' song as well.

Does anyone remember a song Dalaras did about 20 years ago, in Spanish, about a man who kills his lover and is going to be executed?
