Δεροπολίτισα

Listen

Lyrics

Not available. Text in French follows:

Femme de Déropolis
eh, femme de Déropolis, toi qu'on jalouse,
Avec des cierges et des bougies, ma pauvre
Incline-toi aussi pour nous,...
Pour nous autres Chrétiens,...
Pour que les Turcs ne nous égorgent pas,...
Comme des agneaux de Pâques,...

Original Lyrics

Δεροπολίτισα

Μωρ' Δεροπολίτισα, μωρ' καημένη
ζη- μωρ' ζηλεμένη

σίντα πας στην εκκλησιά
με λαμπάδες με κεριά
και με μοσχοθυμιατά
για προσκύνα και για μας
και για μας τους χριστιανούς
μη μας σφάξει η τουρκιά
σαν τ' αρνιά τη Πασχαλιά

Notes

English translation is not available. The original text in French follows:

Les chants populaires grecs sont en général monophones. Seuls font exception ceux de l'Epire du Nord, avec leur "polyphome" très particulière. On y distingue trois voix : la mélodie principale, la pédale, et le "clôsma" ou filature (la voix, exécutant des ornementations, monte et descend, donnant l'impression d'un tissage autour de la mélodie). Deux autres particularités de ces chants sont à signaler :
1) Très souvent cette polyphonie forme des accords dissonnants
2) Les mélodies sont toujours basées sur des gammes pentatoniques.
"Déropolitissa" i. e., femme de Déropolis (Epire du Nord) est une chanson historique. Elle se rapporte à l'époque de l'occupation Ottomane, lorsque les Grecs de l'Epire étaient contraints par la force d'adopter la religion musulmane.

Mélodie: en gamme pentatonique
Rythme: 6/8
