about

In October 2008 Eleni asked us to do a remix of the homonymous track, which is a traditional tune from Asia Minor. The remix was released in "Best of Eleni Tsaligopoulou" (Sony Music, 2009). We used the 1926 recording by Kostas Papagikas' ensemble. The singer was his wife Marika (you can hear her -repitched- voice along with Eleni's). We recorded a jazz version of the original 9/8 beat, added some upright jazz bass phrases as well as the guitar and cello themes.

lyrics

Τα παιδιά της γειτονιάς σου με πειράζουνε ] 2x
πάλι μεθυσμένος είσαι μου φωνάζουνε ] 2x

Σαν μεθώ πέφτω κάτω και λασπώνομαι ] 2x
Βάζω μπρος τα δυο μου χέρια και σηκώνομαι ] 2x

Σα μου πεις, πως δε με θέλεις, πως δε μ' αγαπάς ] 2x
μαχαιράκια είναι τα λόγια, κούκλα που πετάς ] 2x

Όλο ούζο, ούζο, ούζο, το βαρέθηκα ] 2x
Φέρτε μου ένα τσιγαράκι που τ’ ορέχτηκα
Φέρτε κι έν' ναργελεδάκι που τ’ ορέχτηκα


Ta paidia ths geitonias sou me peirazoune ] 2x
pali methysmenos eisai mou fwnazoune ] 2x

San methw peftw katw kai laspwnomai ] 2x
Vazw bros ta dyo mou xeria kai shkwnomai ] 2x

Sa mou peis, pws de me theleis, pws de m' agapas ] 2x
maxairakia einai ta logia, koykla pou petas ] 2x

Olo oyzo, oyzo, oyzo, to varethhka ] 2x
Ferte mou ena tsigaraki pou t’ orexthka
Ferte ki en' nargeledaki pou t’ orexthka
