about

Samples from "Akrogialies Dilina" (i.e. Beaches - Sunsets) recorded by Vassilis Tsitsanis in 1948. The singer is Stella Haskil. Given the "exotic" feel of the original track, we thought of arranging it in 1950' big band / mambo style.

lyrics

Vradiazi gyro ki i nichta
aploni skotadi vathi
koritsi xeno san iskios
planiete monacho sti gi

Choris dropi, anaziti
ton ilio pou echi chathi
sta skotadia na vri

Mpori na to 'choun planepsi
akrogialies dilina
ke sklavomeni gia panta
kratoune tin dolia kardia

Mpori akoma mpori
na echi pia trelathi
ke tote pios tha rotisi
na mathi pote to giati


Βραδιάζει γύρω κι η νύχτα
απλώνει σκοτάδι βαθύ
κορίτσι ξένο σαν ίσκιος
πλανιέται μονάχο στην γη

Χωρίς ντροπή, αναζητεί
τον ήλιο που έχει χαθεί,
στα σκοτάδια να βρει

Μπορεί να το ‘χουν πλανέψει
ακρογιαλιές δειλινά
και σκλαβωμένη για πάντα
κρατούνε την δόλια καρδιά

Μπορεί ακόμα μπορεί,
να έχει πια τρελαθεί
και τότε ποιος θα ρωτήσει
να μάθει ποτέ το γιατί
