To me it sounds like he wants to say..."I'm in pain (pono), don't you
have pity on me, don't you feel sorry for me (den me lipase)? That is,
he's asking her (the "aponi gineka") a (rhetorical) question.

Best, Eva

translation help?

Hi all,
can anyone help out with a translation of the Kavouras song title
"Pono Den Me Lupasai"? "I Ache with ?????"

A great Peristeris bouzouki tune I'll be posting on my friends blog
soon. I can;t find the lyrics anywhere but would love to know what
they are!

cheers,
Dave

Tiffany, the series was made in 1983. I think it is an excellent
effort to portray a time which has gone forever. I speak as a complete
non-expert on this subject though (nor any other for that matter), but
compared to one or two others I have had the misfortune to watch, this
one is good. I didn't know that Mouflouzelis was in it either. he

Geia sas,
Well, it's that time of year again, the 103rd anaversary of the birth
of Markos Vamvakaris. So as a little treat, here are two speaking
clips of him. I know of no others that have been released to the
public except a tiny one on "Markos the Minister". I've also included
one of his earliest recordings and two from when he was older. the

So last night, we started watching Tou Minore Tis Avgis and aside from
one part (part 3 of episode 1) not working, it was pretty good. I
didn't know Mouflouzelis was in it. How old was he here? I don't
know much about him. Does anyone know in what year the series was
made?
Later,

Geia sas,
Well, after searching high and low and bothering just about everyone,
Spiros and I found "Λεξικό Τις Πιάτσας" Lexiko Tis Piatsas. The only
thing is that they have three different versions. We crossed out the
one with slang from the last 40 years cause it's much too new, but

Geia sas,
I just got this message and figured it might interest some of you.
Btw, here's some information on the original concert with a clearer
description. I don't know why they said Astoria is in Illinois, but
it's not.

Ok, here's something interesting. Spiros told me that he knew of this
one actor who played a stereotypical manga in many films. We didn't
know his name, but he remembered that one of the guys who's usually in
these films is Vegos. We found both of them.

The guy first reading the menu is Vegos. The other one doesn't have a

The age at which a working-class boy was supposed to start working
full time for a living (as an apprentice if learning a trade, or just
working if not) was generally 11-12. Approximately the same age as in
the West. That is one reason all primary schools end towards age 11.
Once you started making a living and you visibly had started puberty,

My Greek fonts don't come through there - at least they didn't used to.... the "w" is much more useful, Tiffany - it tells you where there is an omega, should be helpful to you.
