Takis Vouis - Gerakina (Takis & Afrodite Vouis & The Rhodians)

Track 3 (side A) of a 'Mini-LP', once bought by my father at a holiday on Rhodos (Greece), where he met this nice singer Takis Vouis. He still seems active singing in taverns and other places on Rhodos. MY QUESTION: CAN ANYONE SEND ME OR WRITE ME DOWN THE LYRICS?

This is a traditional Greek folk song of which the writers are unknown. Record dated; somewhere in the 1970's.

Thanks very much! Allthough I don't exactly know what it's about, and

it's not easy to find the right way of phrasing the words upon the melody,

at least now I have an idea how it really should be.........

It's a cute song about a lady who called "Gerakina" (means female hawk) who went to the fountain to get water and she felt in. Her bracelets were sounding like "droum droum etc".

The singer loves her and he says that he'll save her and marry her.

that's all.

You may play and sing it with "scherzo" :)

Kinise i Gerakina gia nero krio na feri

droum droum droum ta vrahiolia tis vrondun

ki epese mes to pigadi ki evgale ore foni megali

droum droum droum ta vrahiolia tiw vrondun

Gerakina tha se vgalo kai gineka tha se paro

droum droum droum ta vrahiolia tis vrondun

Κίνησε η Γερακίνα για νερό κρύο να φέρει

ντρουμ ντρουμ ντρουμ τα βραχιόλια της βροντούν

κι έπεσε μες το πηγάδι κι έβγαλε ώρε φωνή μεγάλη

ντρουμ ντρουμ ντρουμ τα βραχιόλια της βροντούν

Γερακίνα θα σε βγάλω και γυναίκα θα σε πάρω

ντρουμ ντρουμ ντρουμ τα βραχιόλια της βροντούν
