"XANA" (AGAIN)------- SAKIS ROUVAS(GREEK SINGER)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNPhUs3rjJM&feature=relmfu

The translation is from:http://sakisarticles.pbworks.com



Oh, I wish my mind was a computer
so I could erase you from memory
forget you, not remember you
Oh, I wish there was a button
I could push and you would vanish
and I would never have met you

And when I would see you
it would be like seeing you
for the very first time

Again
I wish I could fall in love with you
all over again
as if I never knew you
Again
I wish I could kiss you
with my eyes shut
as if it was my first time
even if we should break up again

Again

Oh, I wish there was a time-machine
so I could go back
and correct my mistakes
I wish there was another way
oh God, to give it
one more try again

And when I would see you
it would be like seeing you
for the very first time

Again
I wish I could fall in love with you
all over again
as if I never knew you
Again
I wish I could kiss you
with my eyes shut
as if it was my first time
even if we should break up again

But no-one can go against time
the only thing I can do is wait
and maybe if we ever meet again
in another life, then, who knows, I might

Again
fall in love with you
all over again
as if I never knew you
Again
I wish I could kiss you
with my eyes shut
as if it was my first time
even if we should break up again

Again

Yesterday was 5th anniversary of Toše Proeski's early and tragic death in car accident. Balkans lost one of it's most talented singers, who managed to unite Balkans with his music, so to say.

In his memory: TOSE PROESKI - Igra bez granica

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgRCJPs2ZKA

Translation:

"Game without frontiers"

If I could only wake up
in the world of love
without old dues
and these monstrosities
that have been following my every step

If I could only kiss you
without bad memories of cold springs
and images of suffering
that always clinged to us


Chorus:
Cause my life is a game without frontiers,
tired story, tearing of the pages
that have nothing written on

Cause my life is endless sinking,
when I sum up all defeats
there is nothing left,
there are only habits,
and everything stays on that


If only I could wake you up
make you a coffee
bring it to you in bed,
and kiss you
but there's no such a thing,
and it doesn't exist

If I could only to fall in love
in young girl at dew meadow
somewhere up in heaven
so i cannot see down.

Chorus..

This reminds me Kyu Sakamoto (10 December 1941 -- 12 August 1985) and this beautiful song. He died in a plane crash.

"And now something completely different!" - chants from dalmatian highlands: (some call them Haiku on Rocks :lol:); shepherds' heritage from ancient times, i guess - you got to be a carnivore for best performance ;D... This 'chanting' style is recently included in UNESCO World Heritage List (or something similar)!

I LOVE IT TOTALLY! :-[

Hi, Yozilla. About "Gangs":
What is it that they are expressing with these short songs "A cappella "?
These attitudes and songs resemble of the "Yaqui" and "Mayo" tribes here in Sonora. I remember what I read in one of Gurdjieff's book: his father met to improvise and compose poetry and story various and thus enhance memory. Like you said:Is an heritage of ancient times.
 
Well most of them are rather humorous and sometimes a kind of kinky (erotic themes) depending what bunch of pranksters ;) did it came from. It is also a way of competition between groups of shepherds usually from different houses/families, especially when girls are somewhere there.. Also, there are Girls' Gangas teams with their themes love, family, marriage...
Some are depicting situations from animal life (donkey resisting wolves, bears...) and some with historical background.... Very wide array of motifs indeed - and they are not commercialized yet so people are singing them from their hart, so to say!
