Όνειρο το ’δα η λυγερή

Listen

Lyrics

English translation is not available. The lyrics in French follows:

– Ce que j'ai vu en rêve, mon roseau, explique-le moi:
ce soir-là je commandais des pays et je ramassais des poireaux
et je cassais des noisettes, mon petit, dans ton tablier.
– Ne comprend s-tu pas, malheureux, de toi-même?

Les pays ce sont des séparations et les poireaux des malheurs;
les noisettes sont des balles de plomb séparations éternelles...

Original Lyrics

Όνειρο το ’δα η λυγερή

– Όνειρο το ’δα λυγερή να μου το ξεδυλιάνεις
απόψε χώρες όριζα και πράσα επρασολόγου
και λευκοκάρυα ετσάκιζα μικρό μου στην ποδιά σου.
– Δεν το θωρείς βαριόμοιρε μόνος και μοναχός σου;

Οι χώρες είναι χωρισμοί, τα πράσα είναι πίκρες
τα λευκοκάρυα οι μπαλωθιές, ξεχωρισμοί για πάντα.

Notes

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

En Crete il existe enprincipe deux genres de chansons: les ‘rizitika’ chantés dans les villages montagneux du département de la Canée et les ‘m a nd in a des’, distiques de 15 syllabes, dont le contenu est le plus souvent galant. Ces derniers chantée sur des airs de danse vifs et accompagnés de la lira et du laghouto, tandis que les rizitika sont interprétés des hommes, sur des airs kathistikoi, d'habitude lents et sans accompagnement instrumental.

Les chanteurs se divisent généralement en deux groupes, conducteur et répons ou, comme c'est le cas dans la chanson présentée er. se liste et choeur. Le rêve de la belle a été enregistrée au village montagneux d'Assi-Ghonia, du département de la Canée.
Au contraire des mandinades de circonstance, les rizitika sont de très anciens chants qui content les gestes héroïques des vaillants guerriers antiques.

Mélodie: chromatique (mélos chromatikon)
Rythme: Libre
