A Greek Song - Help

[coolasfcuk]

So, I would've put this in search-Xchange, but since it isnt Russian, I am putting it here.

This is a thread with Help request.
During the summer of 2003 they constantly played a greek, dancy song all over the place in Bulgaria, but i have NO idea who sings it or what it's called. I found a little 30 sec segment of it on my camcorder, which got taped while we were at a Bar. Here is the link:

http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...T17DUJRP6L8OWZ (excuse my cousins friend who are totally distorting the sound )

Maybe somone can recognize it and give me titles/llinks? I HAVE to have it .. for 'nostalgic' purposes.
Phonetically the lyrics are somthing like: "Te Moro... blah blah... sagapo" LoL

spy, you seem to know all the Greekness - help?

edit: now, that i re-watched the clip, I think they also say: "deso" or something in the lyrics, because one of those girls nickname is Deso and they are serenating her with "Deso, sagapo" which with my limited greek knowledge means: "Deso, i love you"

can you tell, i am having my Greek week

Despoina Vandi - Gia.

That was pretty easy, actually.

Bravo! thanks a lot, spy, I knew you could get me the answer

That was very easy , actually. I expected something tougher the way you described it.

LoL well, I wasnt sure it would be easy to hear the actual song with that cacophony in the clip. So, is there 'deso' in the lyrics?

edit: what? LoL no its only one song, but at the end you can only hear the instrumental part, as while the singer is singer the 'girles' are screaming over her

edit2: now that you said Gia, it rings a bell, so i think this is the song i am asking for

[coolasfcuk]

so she is really singing:

"Den boro (xoris esena)
Ke den zo (girna se mena)
Tha xatho ( tha sou pethano)
An den se do "

This is NOTHING compared to what those girlies were screaming over the lyrics, and because of THEM i was also hearing 'moro' and 'sagapo'

what does this mean anyway?

OMG, she also sings "opa opa" ... this is GREAT! Who sings the original of 'Opa Opa'?

[spyretto]

Yeah, that's it. I'm checking the lyrics to see which part you heard as Deso - which doesn't mean anything in Greek

[coolasfcuk]

Ok, i found the l ink to the Giea on her site, and it is definitely THE ONE thanks! now i can hear that she is actually saying the lyrics i posted above

I'm checking the lyrics to see which part you heard as Deso - which doesn't mean anything in Greek

I cant tell you right away, it is the 'den zo' part that the girlies sing as 'de-so'

[spyretto]

yeah I got it:

In free transation it means:

I can't be without you
And I can't live ( come back to me ) - can't live is the "deso" part
I'll perish ( I'll die on you )
If I don't see you

[coolasfcuk]

I just for a remix of the song, called 'Ante Geia' I definitely like the original more
But there is no 'opa opa' song, just an album title

edit: thanks for the lyric translation

[spyretto]

Opa Opa? Try Notis - Opa Opa

It's very similar to Antique, the Antique version is actually better.

Dynata is by Eleftheria Arvanitaki.
Try Yiannis Kotsiras - To Tsigaro, you may like that one as well, though it's more of a ballad.
Can also try Anna Vissi for similar types of songs

Alkistis Protopsalti ( russkaya's favourite Greek singer )
Anna Vissi
Elli Kokkinou
Kostas Makedonas
Peggy Zina
Kaiti Garbi
