Greek Folksongs

 

MP3s of two Greek folk songs with guitar accompaniment

 

Erinaki mou

 

Tria Paidia

 

These two performances of mine were recorded many years ago . . . .

 

"Erinaki mou" (My little Irene) is a dance-song, which, on the face of it, simply praises wine: "wine drinkers lead the greatest life", but the singer asks - in parenthesis - why his beloved Irene just sits and cries. I wonder . . . could it be obvious? or am I reading too much into it?

 

"Tria Paidhia Voliotika" (three young  men  from Volos) - three young men have taken our sweet Annoula away, up to the high mountain. Annoula, whom will you marry? I love Giorgios and will marry him.

 

[Note, scores not available for these arrangements]
