Olympian1010 7,972 Posted October 28, 2018 #1031 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Here is the song that thought was originally Cypriot in orgin, but turned out to be Greek instead. The song is the first foreign language song I ever listened too. It was the Greek entry at the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest. It is also remembered for being ultra political in its lyrics. Panagia Mou, Panagia Mou Here Are the Greek Lyrics: Kampos gematos portokalia, oi-oi mana m’Pou pera os pera aplonet’ i eliaGyro chrysizoun t’ akrogialia, oi-oi mana m’Kai se thamponei, thamponei i antilia Ston topo afto otan tha pate, oi-oi mana m’ Skines an deite, an deite sti seira De tha ‘nai kampin’nk gia touristes, oi-oi mana m’ Tha ‘nai monacha, monacha prosfygia Panagia mou, Panagia mou Parigora tin kardia mou Panagia mou, Panagia mou Parigora tin kardia mou Ki an deite ereipia nkremismena, oi-oi mana m’ Den tha ‘nai ap’ alles, ap’ alles epoches Apo napalm tha ‘nai kamena, oi-oi mana m’ Tha ‘nai ta myria chalasmata tou chtes Ki an deite gi freskoskammeni, oi-oi mana m’ Den tha ‘nai kampos, ‘nai kampos karperos Stavroi tha einai fytemenoi, oi-oi mana m’ Pou tous sapizei, sapizei o kairos Panagia mou, Panagia mou Parigora tin kardia mou Panagia mou, Panagia mou Parigora tin kardia mou Here is the English translation Fields full of oranges, oh-oh my MotherWhere olive trees spread from end to endAround them, the seashores shine like gold, oh-oh my MotherAnd you’re blinded, blinded by the intense light When you go to this place, oh-oh my Mother And you see, you see tents in a row It’s not a camping place for tourists, oh-oh my Mother They’re only, only refugees My Lady, my Lady Soothe my heart My Lady, my Lady Soothe my heart And if you see shattered ruins, oh-oh my Mother It’s not from other, from other eras It is burnt by napalm, oh-oh my Mother Since yesterday, there are countless crumbled rocks And if you see newly dug land, oh-oh my Mother They’re not fertile fields, fields There will be crosses planted on them, oh-oh my Mother Which will decompose, decompose through time My Lady, my Lady Soothe my heart My Lady, my Lady Soothe my heart Yannakis and mrv86 2 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Wumo 3,001 Posted October 28, 2018 #1036 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Philippines This is one of the few Non-English song I often listen to. The band, Bamboo, was one of The Philippines biggest and most recognised pinoy-rock bands throughout the 2000's. This song was one of the their biggest hits, and it has won several awards. I will highly recommend the album, "Light, Peace, Love", which this song is from. Enjoy! Bamboo - Hallelujah mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
