George Dalaras, Yannis K. Ioannou > Choir > Elenitsa (Single), Download mp3

George Dalaras and a special male choir consisting of songwriters, composers, musicians and singers, perform the composition & orchestration of Giannis K. Ioannou who set the lyrics of the lyricist Panos Stathogiannis to music. The song is Rebetiko with touches of the romance of old Athens. A solid folk orchestra perfectly supports the unique interpretation of Dalaras and the choir. The name of Elenitsa is allegorical, which is none other than Greece!

Lyrics:
Elenitsa, they don't build bridges on sand
What grades-what grades are these that you brought us?

Who is the one who was chased from the stars?
A sailor in Smyrna and a groom in Venice
He has shackle marks on both of his hands.
But he knows how to work fire.
He makes songs for two brown eyes
And mercury

Elenitsa, I think you have a level.
The girls don't go to the stadium.
Girls don't go to the stadium |
Elenitsa, I think you have a level.

Who is he who looks at you from the window? He plays the innocent, defeated orphan. He lies to everyone, even if he cries or laughs. He gives himself to everyone, but he belongs to no one. His heart is the nest of nothingness.
And he doesn't speak.

Elenitsa, you are going blind, my poor thing.
If you find-if you find your Ithaca, my hammer
Elenitsa, do your commands correctly.
Always have a gun in your bag.
