    I was really amazed that an American bothered to listen to this. I mean, it's far too traditional and deeply Greek and "difficult staff", especially for foreigners. It talks about death. Thank you for the reaction.

      @@katerinapatiniotis5598 I educate myself every day. Middle Eastern music means of the are of the Middle East. Middle Eastern music means also the music of the ancient people living there like the Sumerians, Hurrians, Babylonians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Anatolian people(like the Hittite), the Ancient Egyptians, and many other people, Middle East could include the Greeks too as the modern term is quite irrelevant as contact between the Greeks and the Near East was very expansive, seen also in the colonisation of Cyprus.

    Here is a rough translation of the lyrics, it's a bit of a grim song, however, it's a transitional song (unknown composer and lyricist) about the outlaw Greek guerillas who went to the mountains to live freely and fight the Ottomans. I'm pleased you liked it. They tricked me at dawn in spring, and told me the grim Reaper won't take me.Oh poor me I went to the mountains, high in the ridges. I see the grim Reaper coming, on horseback. There is nothing I can do, I know I will die.

    Song is about a man in Greece being tricked one early morning to climb a mountain, the trick is that when he reaches the top, he see's the Grem reaper on a horse between trees at a path. They say at the end " Don't take me, death, don't take me, because you'll never bring me back.

    Με γέλασαν μια χαραυγή της άνοιξης τ’ αηδόνια
    με γέλασαν και μου `πανε, ο χάρος δε με παίρνει
    Μη με παίρνεις Χάρε, μη με παίρνεις, γιατί δε με ξαναφέρνεις
    Άιντε και βγήκα ο μαύρος στα βουνά, ψηλά στα κορφοβούνια
    βλέπω το Χάρο να `ρχεται, στο άλογο καβάλα
    Τι να κάνω, τι να κάνω, σαν σκεφτώ πως θα πεθάνω
    The nightingales fooled me a spring's dawn
    they fooled me and told me, the boatman will not take me
    Don't take me Charon, don't take me, because you won't bring me back
    So I went out as a poor man on the mountains, high in the Korfovunia(Highlands)
    I see Charon coming, on horseback
    What should I do, what should I do, as I think I'm going to die
    Sorry for the poor translation effort. I hope it makes sense.

    The lyrics of the song you reacted to:
    One early spring morning,
    The nightingales fooled me,
    As they said that Charon will not take me.
    (Refrain) Do not take me, Charon, spare me, for if you take me, you won't bring me back.
    Therefore, poor me, alas,
    I took to the mountains, up high on the mountain tops,
    And there I saw Charon coming, riding on his stallion.
    What shall I do now, woe me, when I think that I will die?
    (Refrain)

    The vocals depict the words of a Greek warrior during the Greek War of Independence against the Ottomans, expressing his determination to fight to the death and vowing not to yield, for if he falls in battle, he shall not return.
    I'm Greek but listened to this for the first time, this is marvelous.
    Here's the translation:
    "The dawn of spring, the nightingales mocked me
    They mocked me and told me, that death won't take me
    Don't take me, Death, don't take me, for you won't bring me back
    Here I am, black as night, in the mountains, high in the peaks
    I see Death approaching, riding on his horse
    What should I do, what should I do, when I think that I'll die"

    Hey Nick, I want to introduce you to another great Greek singer through a short story. I saw an interview with Helen Vitali (the one with the gum in her mouth) and she was telling a story about going to a house by the sea owned by Stelios Kazantzides (the best ever singer that lived in Greece) with her father when she was a little girl. There she met Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. and not only once but many different times through the years. They used to visit Stelios ingognito just to hear him singing. Now I cant verify that but i don't think she had any reason to lie. Anyway here is a link for Stelios and i hope to see your reaction for him . Keep up the good work ! P.S. Marinela was his wife for some time and they were singing together! czcams.com/video/KO_r9N3zyqg/video.html czcams.com/video/nyiKEHM4Ssk/video.html

    And, my son, I laid down to sleep upon a rock.
    That rock, my son, was the tomb of a kleftis*
    Of a young boy!
    And I heard his voice from within,
    Take my body, my brother,
    Take my body and in our village lay it to rest.

    A major difference between Western music and Middle Eastern music is that Western music tends to be based on a scale (sometimes called a key), while Oriental music is based on a maqam. In the words of the late San Francisco musician Mimi Spencer, a maqam is "something more than a scale, something less than a tune."
    It’s not out of tune.
    Check eastern music scales
